Bo, a Portuguese water dog, was a gift to the Obamas from the late Senator Edward M Kennedy, a key supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign who became close to the family.
Bo helped Obama keep a promise to daughters Malia and Sasha that they could get a dog after the election.
A companion dog, Sunny, joined the family in August 2013.
Both were constant presences around the White House and popular among visitors there, often joining the Obamas for public events. Source: PA
The dogs entertained crowds at the annual Easter Egg Roll and Bo occasionally joined Michelle Obama to welcome tourists.
