President Obama and his family had just added a new member to their household with the addition of a puppy named Sunny!
The one-year-old puppy is the newest sister for the First Dog, Bo. Like Bo, Sunny is a Portuguese Water Dog and settled into her new home at the White House on Monday. First Lady, Michelle Obama, personally wrote out a tweet introducing the new addition to the family: “So excited to introduce the newest member of the Obama family—our puppy, Sunny!”
The Obamas also released footage of Sunny and Bo happily bonding on the White House lawn and the White House commented that 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.”
Bo was gifted to the Obamas by Ted Kennedy after Obama announced in his 2008 acceptance speech that his daughters, Sasha and Malia, had “earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.”
