Today the Obamas welcomed the newest member of their family \u2013 a little girl (puppy) named Sunny!<\/p>\n

Sunny was born in Michigan in June 2012, and arrived at the White House today. Just like Bo, she\u2019s a Portuguese Water Dog, which works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.<\/p>\n

Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo \u2013 full of energy and very affectionate \u2013 and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.<\/p>\n

In the past, Bo has been eager to help the First Family with their official duties, from visiting\u00a0Walter Reed<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Children\u2019s National Medical Center<\/a>, to inspecting the Holiday decorations<\/a>\u00a0at the White House, to greeting guests at the White House on\u00a0tours<\/a>\u00a0and during the\u00a0Easter Egg Roll<\/a>, but in October, the First Lady told reporters that she hosted a \u201cdoggie play date\u201d because \u201cBo doesn’t have enough dog interaction.\u201d So now, in addition to helping with those official duties, Bo takes on the important role of big brother!<\/p>\n

Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

We suspect Sunny will follow in Bo’s footsteps and keep the President company in the Oval Office, go for walks with the First Family after their 6:30 family dinner and even\u00a0jump up on the First Lady\u2019s lap<\/a>\u00a0from time to time!<\/p>\n
