This photograph is of the South Lawn of the White House with the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument in the background. The Obama's pet dog, Bo, rests on the grass on the left side of the image.

This black and white photograph of the South Grounds of the White House was taken during the Woodrow Wilson administration and shows Wilson's sheep grazing. The sight of sheep grazing on the lawn of Wilson’s White House was a symbol of support of troops overseas during World War I. The original flock of 12 sheep and 4 lambs, purchased at a Bowie, Maryland, farm in May 1918, grew to 48, saved manpower by cutting the grass, and earned $52,823 for the Red Cross through auction of the wool.
