First Dog Bo Stars in iPhone App to Benefit Humane Society

Bo, the First Dog and newest member of the Obama household, is now starring in a new iPhone application available for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. YakApps has released "TheFirstDog" application giving users the chance to play with the presidential pooch. Twenty percent of all sales from the app will support HSUS' programs to celebrate animals and confront cruelty.

"TheFirstDog" (priced at $2.99) lets iPhone and iPod touch touch and rub Bo for some puppy love and spend time playing a round of fetch. A bad toss can break a window but the dog will break out in dance after enough catches are made. The app even enables users to feed Bo before putting him to bed.

"Downloading 'TheFirstDog' is a way for people to support The Humane Society of the United States while joining in the excitement over the arrival of Bo at the White House," said Michael Markarian, executive vice president for The HSUS. "We are grateful to Jake Press and YakApps for their generous contribution toward our work to celebrate animals and confront cruelty."
