First Pets: American Presidents and Their Furry Family Members (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Learn about the different animals that have lived in the White House in this presentation by Valerie Gugala!

Celebrate International Cat Day (Aug. 8) and International Dog Day (Aug. 26) with this charming program! Most U.S. Presidents and their families have had companion animals live with them at the White House. These pets have served to both unite - and sometimes divide - the nation. Pets have even played a role in international diplomacy. Revisit some of the First Pets over the last 70 years with some heartwarming and sometimes surprising stories in this presentation by Valerie Gugala.
