"That's a good-looking dog," Barack Obama declared about the bushy-haired 6-month-old puppy as the First Family petted, hugged and cooed at Bo. "He's a star – he's got star quality."
He's also got some things to learn. "He doesn't know how to swim," Sasha exclaimed. "They have to be taught," Obama replied. "They have webbed feet, you know, for herding fish for the Portuguese fishermen."
Other Bo bits learned from the President: He is neutered, everyone will take turns walking him, he's got a dog house ("his own spot") and will be allowed in the Oval Office, of course, but there will be limits on where he sleeps.
"Not in my bed," announced the commander-in-chief.
