*Sadly we must report that Bo Obama, the family pet of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama is now in dog heaven. He died at the age of 12. Bo was “a constant, gentle presence in [the Obamas’] lives,” the former president wrote in a tweet on Saturday (05-08-21) mourning the dog’s death. “He tolerated all the fuss that came with being in the White House, had a big bark but no bite, loved to jump in the pool in the summer, was unflappable with children, lived for scraps around the dinner table, and had great hair,” Obama continued. “He was exactly what we needed and more than we ever expected. We will miss him dearly.”
