The First Dog, Bo, joined the Obama family on their summer vacation in Bar Harbor Maine last week. Bo visited several local attractions with the Obamas including Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, before returning to the White House on Sunday.

I think it would have set a better example if they had rescued a dog from the pound, but Bo is super cute and does seem to be enjoying his life at the White House.

He looks perfectly groomed and well mannered and we’re glad he’s the First Dog. Dogs are great pets there’s no doubt about it.

Dogs are wonderful animals, and I’m sure Bo has a great doggie life with Mr President :-)

I think it would have set a better example if they had rescued a dog from the pound…

Malia has allergies, which limited their choice of breeds; but while Bo never spent time in a pound, he was given up by his original owners as a bad fit, and was referred out to the Obamas by his breeder.

It’s a shame that everything about a President has to be politicized, even his choice of pet.

What a wonderful pet. He fixes perfectly with president Obama, both very stylish.
We don’t always have to go to a pound and rescue a dog to feel better as dog parents. We choose to love and care for an animal and they become our best friends. Doesn’t matter if they come from a pound or a pet shop!!!

Well, I’m glad people at least like his dog! The guy gets blamed for everything, and the recent tax situation is another no-win. I think he is too good of a guy to be a successful president. And how else are you going to pay down the deficit w/o raising taxes? Oh well, love the dog!
