Who let the dog out?
That’s likely what some lucky tourists were thinking Friday when first dog Bo Obama made a brief appearance outside the White House gates. Bo was bounding around the North Lawn while this year’s White House Christmas tree was being unloaded. The Portuguese Water Dog then walked up to the Northeast gate to greet the children of Tom and Sue Schroeder, the couple responsible for donating the 18-and-a-half-foot balsam fir tree from Wisconsin.
Bo was then briefly escorted outside the gate for some “petting time” with several lucky visitors. “Bo was never on a leash,” our source remarked. “But he was a perfect dog and just posed.”
