The nation got its long-awaited first look at Bo in action as the Obamas showed off the family's new dog on the South Lawn. First lady Michelle Obama did most of the walking while the 6-month-old Portuguese water dog scampered about. Then daughter Malia took a turn, and Bo took off running. The girls grinned as they played with Bo. Sasha clapped her hands at one point, calling for the dog's attention. Plainly pleased, the president said, "He's a star. He's got star quality."
Obama's dog is called Bo.
