Today the Obamas welcomed the newest member of their family
– a little girl (puppy) named Sunny!
Sunny was born in Michigan
in June 2012, and arrived at the White House today. Just like Bo, she’s a
Portuguese Water Dog, which works great for the Obamas because of allergies in
their family.
Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo – full of energy and
very affectionate – and the First Family picked her name because it fit her
cheerful personality.
In the past, Bo has been eager to help the First Family with
their official duties, from visiting Walter Reed and the Children’s National
Medical Center, to inspecting the Holiday decorations at the White House, to
greeting guests at the White House on tours and during the Easter Egg Roll, but
in October, the First Lady told reporters that she hosted a “doggie play date”
because “Bo doesn't have enough dog interaction.” So now, in addition to
helping with those official duties, Bo takes on the important role of big
brother!
We suspect Sunny will follow in Bo's footsteps and keep the
President company in the Oval Office, go for walks with the First Family after
their 6:30 family dinner and even jump up on the First Lady’s lap from time to
time!
In honor of Sunny, the Obamas are making a donation to the
Washington Humane Society.
