Via White House Pets:

Caroline Kennedy's pony, Macaroni, was a present from Lyndon Johnson. Macaroni roamed freely around the White House grounds and received thousands of fan letters from the American public. Caroline also had a famous dog named Pushinka, who was given to her by the head of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev.

Amy Carter had a dog named Grits and a Siamese Cat named Misty Malarky Ying Yang.

If I remember correctly, the dog that the Kennedys received was a descendant of one of the dogs that went into space during the early days of the Soviet Space Program.
