Which President Had a Pig?

Published in US Presidents 2 mins read

The answer to this question depends on what you mean by "had a pig". Did the president own a pig as a pet? Did the president have a pig as a part of a farm? Or did the president simply have a pig as a symbol or mascot?

Here are some possible interpretations:

  • President Harry S. Truman owned a pig named "Miss Bess" during his time in the White House. This pig was a gift from a farmer in Missouri, and it was a popular attraction for visitors to the White House.
  • President Calvin Coolidge received two piglets as gifts while he was in office. He kept them at the White House and gave them to a local farm after they grew too large.
  • President Abraham Lincoln had a pig named "Old Spot" that he kept at the White House. The pig was a gift from a friend, and it was a popular attraction for visitors to the White House.

While there are other presidents who may have had pigs in some capacity, these are some of the most well-known examples.
