It’s news everyone has been waiting for.
President Obama’s dog has an official photograph. Sure, it’s taken a long time. But we can all agree, after looking at the photo, that it’s been worth the wait.
Nice
Sitting on the South Lawn of the White House, Bo appears to be collar free. Although we’re not entirely sure, it looks like one of his eyes may even be visible in the shot.
Along with the photo, the White House has included a baseball card listing all the important characteristics, traits, and ambitions for the First Dog.
His favorite hobby? Playing on the White House lawn and going on walks with the Obama family.
His goal as First Dog? Make friends with foreign “dognitaries”. (bah-doom-bah).
How about an interesting fact? Even though Bo is a Portuguese Water Dog, he doesn’t know how to swim.
Sinister
This is normally where a feel-good story ends. But this is Washington. There’s always something sinister lurking. And leave it to the guys at Gawker to track it down.
You can thank John Cook in particular — who may just be the 21st century version of Woodward and Bernstein (he’s that good — he’s both people ) — for having the courage to track down this story.
If you look closely at Bo Obama’s baseball card, you’ll notice that the First Dog has listed “tomatoes” as his favorite food. Cook didn’t think that sounded right. So, just like the famed Washington Post duo from the early 1970’s, he did some investigating.

“Even though Bo is a Portuguese Water Dog, he doesn’t know how to swim.”
The perfect dog for a leader that doesn’t know how to lead.
An animal from the pound was too beneath them, so they figured out this way to have Teddy “gift” them.
I’d really like to know if Cappy is the same dog as Bo. Because if they are one in the same, Teddy had that dog for several months. And according to the first reports announcing the First Dog’s arrival, Bo was returned to the breeder from previous owners.
I lifted it from another thread. :) Bo is better “dressed.”
ROFLOL!! That’s a good one.
Credit where credit is due!
This is a good one:-)
