Official Portrait of First Dog Bo Released
The White House today released an official portrait of First dog Bo Obama. It's a cute picture of Bo, who is quite a fine specimen. But it strikes your Gagglers as a little odd because, as Holly pointed out to me, the girls don't have official portraits yet, nor is there an official first family portrait.
The White House has also released an official Bo baseball card to answer all the burning questions about the world's most famous pup. We now have confirmation that Bo's favorite food is tomatoes (weird huh? Maybe he's vegetarian....) and that his goal as first dog is to "meet with foreign dognitaries." We're impressed that he sat still for long enough to be snapped. But perhaps that just confirms Holly's sneaking suspicion that Bo is actually an anamatronic dog. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if we found out he's a muppet.Like The Daily Beast on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for updates all day long.
