Look! It's Bo!
See Bo run. See Bo tow the First Lady and the Prez across the White House lawn. See the adorable First Daughters embrace the idea of having a First Puppy.
Bo's not a "rescue" dog, as first promised by the Obamas. He's what's called a "second chance" dog. He's six months old, and the first family he boarded with before the First Family didn't work out.
Bo is named in honor of First Lady Michelle's late Dad, whose nickname was Diddley (as in oldtime rocker Bo Diddley). Most importantly, he's hypoallergenic, so 10-year-old Malia won't sneeze. And 7-year-old Sasha, perhaps, will teach Bo how to swim (no, he apparently doesn't know even how to doggy paddle, and yes, he has webbed feet).
This NBC video is pretty and packaged. You should also view the raw footage of Bo's arrival, posted on YouTube. This Portuguese Water Dog is not camera-shy, that's for sure.
I guess this means that the puppy's full name is Bo Obama. Ya think?
