What is the history of past presidents and their pets? [View all]

Most of them seem to have had a dog or a cat while in office. Does the current pseudo prez dislike animals or (most likely) do they dislike him? I am fairly certain any pet he has/had would try their best to run away or perhaps no one will allow him to adopt due to animal abuse/cruelty.
