In an April 14 press conference to announce the adoption of Bo Obama, the White House dog, President Barack Obama called the 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog the “newest addition to the family.”

The president acknowledged the public and media attention, saying Bo “is a star; he has star quality.” He also told reporters that family members will take turns walking the dog, but that Bo will not be allowed to sleep in the president’s bed.

Along with First Lady Michelle Obama, Sasha and Malia were on hand for the introductions as well.
