First Dog of the US

The U.S. has new "First Dog"
President Obama promised his daughters a dog, when he wins the presidential elections.
Now, the Portuguese water dog "Bo" moved into the White House.

U.S. President Barack Obama has to be finally fulfilled this promise to his two daughters on his Easter campaign and they received the dog as a gift. As the newspaper "Washington Post" reported on Sunday, the six months old Portuguese water dog lives in the White House from now on.
Sasha and Malia Obama obtained the dog from the Democratic U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, a close friend of the family. The newspaper said that both girls named the four-legged Bo. Bo has black fur, a white chest, white paws and a white goatee.

The presidential family is very thrilled about her new roommate, told the "Post", relying on an informant not mentioned by name. Bo was already domesticated and does not nibble the furniture in the White House, because Bo received lessons in good behaviour from the Kennedy family's dog-trainer.
The public will become acquainted with the First Dog of the US in the mid of April, reported the Washington Post.


An allergy influenced the election of the race

First Lady Michelle Obama had recently hinted that the family is ready to get a Portuguese water dog, because Malia is not allergic against this race. Good for Malia and good for Bo - who is the actual First Dog of the US for at least four or more years.

Dogs have tradition in the White House.
U.S. President George W. Bush had a Scottish terrier named Barney and a Springer Spaniel named Spot. Spots mother was the president bitch Millie, that hat it's residence during the tenure of George Bush Sr. in the White House. Bill Clinton had a chocolate-brown Labrador, Buddy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt took his terrier Fala even at international conferences.


So, Bo, the new dog of the presidential family isn't the First Dog of the US in all ways.
Former presidents had dogs too - and now, the keeping of pets in the White House seems to become some kind of tradition and nothing special anymore.

The public has a right to be anxious about what comes next.
Perhaps the First Pig of the US or the first presidential cat!?

All in all, the whole situation can't be better.
Obama proved again, that he is THE MAN who will yank the US out of financial crisis and other problems - just with such a little gesture like letting a dog live a good life in the White House. This proves that Barack Obama keeps promises and wants all the best for everyone - whether human or not.
