Are Malia & Sasha Obama As Innocent As We Think?

Puppy Promise

The Obamas promised their daughters that they could get a dog when they moved into the White House. President Obama even repeated his promise and mentioned it in his victory speech. Malia is actually allergic to pet dander so they had to be very careful with which animal they chose.

Obama said their options had been narrowed down to a labradoodle or a Portuguese Water Dog. Although they wanted to be able to find a shelter animal. Senator Ted Kennedy ended up giving the Obamas a gift of a Portuguese Water Dog. The girls named him Bo. A few years later, the first family adopted a second dog of the same breed and named her Sunny.
