Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President, was famous for his many pets. His six kids had snakes, dogs, cats, a badger, birds, guinea pigs, and more.
When Roosevelt's son Archie got the measles, Quentin, another of Roosevelt's sons, thought a visit from the family pony might cheer Archie up. So Quentin put the animal on the White House elevator and brought him to Archie's upstairs room.
Quentin's animal adventures didn't end there. Once he borrowed a bunch of snakes from a pet store. Running to show his father, Quentin interrupted an important meeting and dropped the snakes all over his father's desk!
Theodore Roosevelt's family had a regular zoo when they lived in the White House. Roosevelt was the 26th president. He had six children. They brought all kinds of animals to the White House. Their pets ranged from bears to snakes, with a hyena and a wildcat or two thrown in. Along with all their other furry, feathered, and slithery friends, they had at least five dogs.
4 Pete, the Roosevelt's bull terrier, was a beloved member of the lively First Family. He may not have been such a hit with visitors. It caused quite a stir when Pete attacked a French ambassador. After the excitement was over, the visitor was found to be okay. The same couldn't be said for his pants, though. Pete had shredded one pant-leg.
He had a guinea pig named Father O'Grady and a snake named Emily Spinach. He also had a Bull Dog named Pete and a Cheapeake Retriever named Sailor Boy.
He also had a small bear named Jonathan.
