Barney is totally adorable, but I sure miss Spot.

I wonder if the President is going to get another spotty dog. Maybe he needs to wait a while.

re Spotty's replacement, if I were betting, I'd bet on another Springer. Springer's are a MAN's dog. Barney is just a little too cutsy, prissy. Don't get me wrong, Barney is a good fishing companion for Mr. President, but I would suspect he'd like a good huntin' dog. Springer's are great bird dogs. And, it's all in the personality. As much as I like the Scotty look, they are notably a very dour dog, who bond with ONE person. Not a sociable dog. (I speak in generalities). Once you've loved and been owned by a dog, you want another just like him/her. Yes, I would guess it will be another Springer.
