'Bo' makes his debut with the first family
Posted: 06:25 PM ET
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Bo the Portuguese water dog made his White House debut under cloudy skies Tuesday afternoon, spending several minutes taking his
new family on a lively romp over the South Lawn with frequent stops for hearty sniffs at his new surroundings.
Bo landed on all four feet at his fourth home in his six short months of life, fulfilling President Barack Obama's campaign promise to get his daughters a dog in return for all the time he spent on the road during the long presidential fight.
He's a star. He's got star quality," the president said of the black curly pup with white front feet and chest, and a lion-cut tail.
The Obamas ended up with a pure-bred dog, despite the president's preference for a mutt, largely because of 10-year-old Malia's allergies — Portuguese water dogs don't shed — and because of opportunity.
