Our little Bo is growing up! The presidential pup --- famous for
acting "crazy" and trying to chew on people's feet --- posed for his first official portrait taken on the South Lawn of the White House. Doing his best to look dignified, Bo gazes off into the distance with a jaunty little thrust of his left front paw (the one that looks as if he's wearing a white tube sock pulled up to his knee).
Still, Bo can't hide his innate playfulness --- just look at that open mouth and bit of tongue hanging out. He's waiting for someone to throw a ball!
Want to know more about Bo?
Download his baseball card from the White House website. It doesn't include his batting average, but it does reveal that his hobbies include "playing on the White House lawn and going on walks
with the Obama family," and his lofty goal as first dog: to make friends with foreign
dognitaries.
But don't believe the part about tomatoes being his favorite food; that was apparently
a little joke by the White House. (Tomatoes can be toxic to dogs.)
