Abraham Lincoln's favorite animal was a dog which he kept as a pet. The dog was given the name Fido and treasured by Lincoln.
I have heard and read that his favorite animal is the turkey and he wanted the turkey to be the national animal.

There were several pets. He loved cats and would play with them for hours. When Mary Todd was asked if he had a hobby she said "cats." When Lincoln created Thanksgiving as a holiday he was sent a turkey for his dinner in 1863. Tad named the turkey Tom and befriended the turkey. The turkey became a pet instead of dinner. He also had a dog named Fido. The Lincoln boys had a pet goats named a Nanny and Nanko. Tad and Willie liked to hitch the goats to carts or kitchen chairs and have the goats pull them through the White House. Both of the goats got into trouble for chewing up things and bulbs planted in the White House gardens. There were also rabbits in the Lincoln household and Lincoln named his horse Old Bob. Old Bob was used in the Lincoln funeral as the riderless horse in the funeral procession.
