A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel owned by Nancy and Ronald Reagan. Rex was given as a Christmas present to Ronald Reagan's wife Nancy on December 6, 1985. Rex was named after Rex Scouten, White House Chief Usher.

Reportedly, Rex was known to disliking the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House. Thought to possibly be haunted by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, the dog would refuse to enter the room and sometimes would stand outside it and bark through the doorway.

After Reagan left office, Rex lived to the age of 13 with the Reagan family before being euthanized after developing an enlarged heart. He is interred at "Rancho del Cielo" translated "Sky's or Heaven's Ranch" on the top of the Santa Ynez Mountain range northwest of Santa Barbara, California which served as a vacation home for the Reagan family.
