George and Martha Washington were fond of pets; in addition to dogs and horses they also had parrots and a cockatoo.  Some of George Washingtons' dogs were named Mopsey, Taster, Tipler, Jupiter, Sweetlips, Truelove and Rover.  The biggest French hound was Vulcan, who once stole a dinner ham from the kitchen and was often ridden by the Washingtons' grandson.
Today, America’s First Family owns a Portuguese Water Dog named Bo.
