Get To Know "Bo" Photos

President Barack Obama holds his daughter Sasha as he pets the family's new dog, Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog. Obama's daughters reportedly chose the name Bo for the pup because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a reference to the singer Bo Diddley.
