Will the O's, none of whom have apparently owned a pet before, know how to relate to a dog well? In pics with the dog (other than this one) they seem a bit awkward with it.

I felt sad today when I read that there is now concern that there will be a huge demand for the puppies of the breed that will lead to many problems. That huge demand could have been for shelter dogs.

Watch our wonderful first family with their new pup:

I love this picture!

These are the dogs used to retrieve home run balls from SF bay when the Giants have home games. For each ball they retrieve, the Giants donate $100 to the SPCA.

Great dogs, wonderful family!

OOps that should be "puppy DAD" but puppy day is also appropriate. See below.

Obama is going to be a great puppy day!

They are great dogs. The kids will have fun. And that's what its all about.

I hope things can simmer down now. The Obamas got a great dog, and he got a great family. I'm happy for all of them.

More drama surrounding the acquiring of this dog than the second coming...

Enough already!

You're just sorry that the Obamas fascinate Americans more than any First Family since the Kennedys. This picture of Obama running with Bo in the White House says it all. We've never had a president with Obama's sheer exhuberance. No wonder the country loves him. Of course it helps that he's brilliant, practical, and understands the best values of the public. Get used to the helplessness of Obama's enemies; it's not going away any time soon.

i thought they were talking about all the drama from the dog not being from a shelter and if he's really a rescue dog.

This is like the Kennedys'. I remember them so well, but have forgotten how many animals they actually had in the White House: dogs, puppies, cats and even a pony. When I think of Jackie Kennedy it makes me laugh to think of her with so many animals.

Waiting for the first poop report.

Exaggerate much?

Lighten up. There are loads of things to be upset about these days. Smile once in a while.

They will never regret the choice of the Portuguese Water Dog. I have one now which is my second. They are incredible dogs and will make this family and this nation happy and proud.
They have chosen well.

I wake up every morning with a water dog.

I heard a report earlier that the Obama's are trying to figure out where BO is going to sleep. Dog Owner training 101 -- not in your bedroom and most certainly not in your bed, regardless to how cute he is. Want a dog you will love forever......set boundaries and be the leader of the pack if you don't then don't blame the dog.

[trudyjh]

Absolutely the dog gets to sleep on the girls' beds.

[judiNJ]

Oh yes! The best part of having pets is having them on the bed with you.

[Countdown09]

When their a "family" that has a dog the dog typically takes a shine to one particular member of the family more than the others. Seeing this photo I'm going to guess that BO and BO are going to make that special connection. No offense Obama ladies.

You can really see the Portuguese water dog lines in Standard poodles - it's amazing!
