first pets
Initial companion creatures
First pets are the animals kept by a head of state's family, particularly in the United States, where presidential pets receive significant media attention.
The term mirrors "First Lady" and "First Family," applying the honorific to household animals: The First Dog accompanied the president on Marine One.
First pets range from conventional dogs and cats to more exotic choices throughout history.
