Barack Obama has officially added to his family… A Dog!

President Barack Obama and the first family received a gift from Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife Victoria. He’s a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog .

Daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, named the presidential pooch Bo, according to the Washington Post, because Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, as in Bo Diddley, and because their cousin has a cat named Bo.

The curly black-haired, allergen-free puppy was a gift from Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy. It’s the very first pet dog for the Obamas.

Bo will have his official unveiling on Tuesday.
