Press Corps Scrambles to Keep Up With First Dog

The first family showed off new puppy Bo on Tuesday. He’s a Portuguese water dog, which appears to be a kind of mutant poodle with webbed feet. President Obama claims they are used to herd fish, though we’ll believe that when we see it.

No one in the first family has owned a dog before.

The president said the whole family will share the burden of walking Bo, but Michelle seemed to get more than her fair share of leash time.
