How did the Obamas name their dog?

Answer 1

Malia and Sasha picked the dog's name. He was named Bo, after Bo Diddley and other Obama family pets. He is black with white front paws and white on his chest.

The first dog arrived at the White House in April, 2009. He is a Portuguese Water Dog, valued at $1600 and a gift from the late Senator Ted Kennedy who also owned dogs from the same breeder. The breed was suggested by Senator Kennedy when he learned the Obamas were looking for a breed that was less likely to cause allergy problems.
