With cute images of beloved former occupants of the White House arranged along its length, this lovely reminder of the special place that pets hold in our hearts makes a heartwarming gift. Wonderful for young animal lovers, this shaped ruler is a fun addition to kids' art and school supplies.

The White House has been the home not just to the Presidents and First Families, but also to all their family pets. Presidential pets have included barnyard animals, exotic birds, bears, alligators, and domesticated cats and many, many dogs! From FDR's Fala and the Bushes' Barney to the Obamas' Bo and Sunny, some of these pets have themselves become household names across America.
