President Barack Obama Remembers His Strongest Ally in Washington: His Dog, Bo
The Portuguese water dog passed away this weekend.
May 10, 2021
The Obama family's beloved Portuguese water dog, Bo, passed away this weekend after battling cancer. The former president posted about the family dog on Instagram, mourning the loss of his twelve year old pet.
"Today our family lost a true friend and loyal companion," Barack Obama wrote in the caption. "For more than a decade, Bo was a constant, gentle presence in our lives—happy to see us on our good days, our bad days, and everyday in between. He tolerated all the fuss that came with being in the White House, had a big bark but no bite, loved to jump in the pool in the summer, was unflappable with children, lived for scraps around the dinner table, and had great hair. He was exactly what we needed and more than we ever expected. We will miss him dearly."
