ÒThe Obama family was introduced to a prospective family dog at a secret greet on a Sunday. After spending about an hour with him, the family decided he was the one. Here, the dog ran alongside the President in an East Wing hallway. The dog returned to his trainer while the ObamaÕs embarked on their first international trip. I had to keep these photos secret until a few weeks later, when the dog was brought ÔhomeÕ to the White House and introduced to the world as Bo.Ó
