From the moment Barack Obama announced that he would get a dog for his daughters upon winning the White House, the “First Pet” has been at the top of the news cycle. And from the moment Portuguese water dog Bo Obama was officially introduced to the nation—in front of the largest press pool since Queen Elizabeth’s state visit in 2007!— reporters everywhere have been trying to get the scoop on America’s top dog.
Now, through a special loophole in the Freedom of Information Act (apparently dogs aren’t covered), citizens of the world can see the White House in a whole new way! Open the secret files of America’s First Top Dog to get a highly classified and highly entertaining knee-high glimpse of life in the White House, all told in first-pooch point of view.
Following in the rich tradition of such renowned presidential pets as FDR’s Scottish terrier Fala, Harding’s Airedale, George HW Bush’s Millie, and the Clintons’ cat Socks, Bo Obama will surely be making headlines for the next 4-to-8 years!
