US President Obama has added a new member to his White House team: a black, curly-haired, six-month-old Portuguese Water Dog named Sunny.
The adorable female pup was welcomed into the Obama family on Monday by the President, 52, the First Lady, 49, and their daughters Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12.
Sunny travelled from Michigan to join the Obamas and their other dog, four-year-old Bo, who is the same breed.
Sunny’s arrival was announced on the White House blog, accompanied by a video and some happy snaps. It’s a far cry from 2009, when Bo’s arrival had to be kept secret for three days before an official announcement was made to the press corps.
On the blog, the White House said Sunny would “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 jump up on the First Lady’s lap from time to time!”
You can bet Sunny will be one pampered pooch!
