Bo is the first family dog. Bo might not know it but he is the most talked about dog in town. On the Pres. Speech way back in 2008, he told her daughters “you have earned a new puppy that is coming with us to the White House.” The Pres. can’t simply choose any puppy due to Maila’s condition (Obama’s daughter”. They need to come out with a dog that is hypoallergenic.  Bo was a gift given to them and the dog was six months old when he became the first family dog in April of 2009.

Bo’s name was not actually Bo at first; he was named Charlie when he was living with another family (according to the Washington Post). The breed of this dog is a Portuguese water dog. Bo was a gift given to the first’s family by Senator Ted Kennedy. The term “first dog” was actually derived from term like first lady; we have that tradition when it comes to things associated to the first family will have the same term like in the case of Bo, “first dog”.

Bo might be overwhelmed if he only knew that most people are on the look of finding information about him. He was born in Texas on October 9, 2008 and was given to the first family on April 9, 2009.
