- Summary
- Over the years the White House has been home to a unique assortment of pets. The list of Presidential pets is endless and the stories about them and their owners are bizarre, hilarious,, touching, and filled with incidents that point out many a First Family soft spot, peculiarity and, in every case, unabashed love of animals. Margaret Truman, a former White House resident herself, charts this special heritage with warmth, and imagination.--from book jacket
