U.S.Presidents and Their Pets

celticeagle @celticeagle (189793) • Boise, Idaho 2 Apr

I found it interesting in reading that most U.S. Presidents had pets in the White House. The only ones who didn't were James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson and Donald Trump. I think we can all agree on the reason the last one mentioned...

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 18 Aug

I saw this funny, humorous warning on a house gate. As challenging and scary as it sounds, they had a friendly, happy dog that would more likely play with you rather than chase you to attack you. What are some of the funny dog...
