Follow Portuguese Investment Immigration to stay updated on life in Portugal: The White House announced on its website on the 19th that a second pet dog has joined President Barack Obama’s family.
This female dog is named "Sunny," a Portuguese Water Dog, and is one year old. Obama already has a male dog of the same breed, named "Bo," which was gifted to the "First Family" by former Senator Edward Kennedy in 2009.
The White House stated: "For 'Bo', 'Sunny' is the ideal little sister; she is energetic and affectionate, and the 'First Family' named her based on her cheerful personality."
The statement continued: "We estimate that 'Sunny' will follow 'Bo' around, accompanying Obama in the Oval Office. After dinner at 6:30 PM, she will walk with the 'First Family' and even occasionally jump onto the 'First Lady's' lap."
The statement also included photos of the two pet dogs relaxing on the South Lawn of the White House, as well as a video of them playing.
Obama's daughter, Malia Obama, has allergies, and the Portuguese Water Dog is known for its low-shedding coat, making it suitable for the 'First Family's' dog selection criteria.
