After months of anticipation, it’s time for the padded paws of the presidential puppy to promenade through the halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. A Portuguese Water Dog with a political pedigree, as one of his 10 siblings– now known as Cappy– is the newest pet of Senator Edward Kennedy, the nation’s new First Fido comes from Amigo Portuguese Water Dogs in Boyd, Texas, the Examiner reports.
Only 6 months old, the cuddly canine has already had three names. Born on October 9, 2008, the pup was registered by his breeders as Amigo’s New Hope. Christened “Charlie” by his first owners, the darling dog now answers to the name “Bo,” a moniker with ties to the Obama family, as young Sasha and Malia’s cousin has a feline fur baby with the name, and “Diddley” was the sobriquet of Michelle Obama’s father.
