A dog named Bo of the Portuguese Water breed was born to the Barack Obama family in 2009. In addition, Obama owns a Portuguese Water Dog named Sunny.
In the White House, Bo was called “the first dog of the United States.” Four 4 children's books have been written about the dog. In addition, journalist Ben Greenman described the first 100 days in the presidential residence through Bo's eyes.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden announced his intention to return to the tradition according to which all American presidents had dogs in the White House since the beginning of the 20th century. He explained that it was violated by his country's predecessor, Donald Trump.
On January 17, an “indoctrination” ceremony was held at the White House, and Biden's shepherd named Major took over as the “first US dog”. In March, the dog attacked White House employees twice.
