Harrison had three grandchildren who moved into the White House along with their parents. He was very fond of them and got them a pet goat, named Old Whiskers. He also provided a cart and harness so that the goat could pull the cart around the yard. However, one day. the goat bolted and ran away with the cart and the children in it and people were startled to see the President running down Pennsylvania Avenue, chasing a goat cart and holding his hat and cane.
Another story- Harrison liked to slip out of the White House in secret and go on hunting trips, However, one of trips got more publicity that he wanted after he shot a farmer's pig by mistake.
