Bo had a secret get-acquainted session with the family at the White House a few weeks ago.

Bo is the Obama’s new puppy.
..
The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin’ senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named it Bo — and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)
..
Bo’s a handsome little guy. Well suited for formal occasions at the White House, he’s got tuxedo-black fur,
with a white chest, white paws and a rakish white goatee.

This undated handout photo provided by Sen. Edward Kennedy’s office shows Sen. Kennedy holding his 13-week old Portuguese water dog named Cappy. In what was one of the White House’s most tightly kept secrets, President Barack Obama’s daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, have settled on a black and white pup. The dog, a gift from Kennedy who owns several Portuguese water dogs himself, will make his big debut Tuesday afternoon.
