The Obamas have welcomed a very cute addition to the White House: A one-year-old Portuguese Water Dog named Sunny.
According to the White House, Sunny was born in June 2012 in Michigan and arrived in D.C. today. Her older dog brother Bo joined the First Family in 2009.
“Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo – full of energy and very affectionate – and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality,” the White House said in a blog post.
The White House said the Obamas will make a donation to the Washington Humane Society in honor of Sunny’s arrival. The WHS said it would be able to verify the donation tomorrow. The WHS says it’s “grateful” for the undisclosed donation.
