The White House has released the official photographic portrait of the First Dog.
Bo, the Portuguese water dog adopted by President Barack Obama, wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia is pictured on the lawn of the White House.
Also known in the registry of the American Kennel Club as Amigo's New Hope, for the kennel where he was born, the first pooch was a gift to the First Family from Senator Ted Kennedy.
The White House photo by Chuck Kennedy comes with an appropriate depth of field in which the dog looms larger than the White House, which on many occasions Bo has.
