Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said during the presidential campaign that they had promised their two girls a dog after the election.

The Obamas repeatedly said they wanted it to be a rescued dog such as one from a shelter. Their search was complicated by daughter Malia's allergies, which would rule out many of the "mutts" the president has said he would prefer.

Enter Bo, a 6-month-old puppy given up by his first owner and matched with the Obamas through his breeders.

I wonder if they spell it "Bo, or if it's spelled "Bho?"

Bo Obama to star in children's book
Barack Obama's dog, Bo, has been given a book deal, just a day after entering the White House.

A deal has already been done to publish "Bo America's Commander In Leash", a children's book that is due to be released next week.

According to Mascot Books, the publisher, the book will follow "Bo on an exciting adventure as he learns all about the White House and experiences the traditions that make it such a special place."

Mr Aryal told the New York Times he and Mr Moore had been working on the project for about two months, leaving space for pictures of the dog, once it was chosen. He added that the Obamas' two daughters Sasha and Malia are not named in the book because he wanted to protect their privacy.

Bo, a Portuguese Water Dog, was given as a gift to the Obamas by Mr Kennedey. The senator has three of the breed himself.

As Bo was welcomed into the White House, the Kennel Club reported a 125 per cent increase in the number of people asking about the breed in recent months. It said it received 1,646 calls in the last five months about the breed, a rise from 730 calls for the same period the previous year.

Mr and Mrs Obama made $2.7 million (£1.8 million) last year. Nearly all of their earnings last year came from the president's own two best-selling books - Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope, which brought the Obamas nearly $2.5 million in royalties.
