It's officially official! After months of speculation and inuendo and rumor and little leaks (no pun intended), the Obama family has made it public. Their new dog, promised to Sasha and Malia Ann as a campaign commitment not to be broken, is Bo, a Portuguese water dog, a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. He discovered it at the breeder where his own Portuguese water dogs are from; Bo had been returned to the kennel by the former owners.
