Photo Gallery of Bo Obama, The First Dog

In his Election Night acceptance speech in Chicago's Grant Park, Barack Obama promised his daughters, Malia and Sasha, a new puppy when they moved to the White House.

On Easter Sunday 2009, he made good on that promise. Bo arrived wearing a lei. He was a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife, Vicki. Bo is a Portuguese Water Dog. He was about six months old on the date of his becoming a gift.

This photo is Bo's first official press photo. The following photos are from his first official photo shoot.
