>Meet the First Dog: Bo

美'第一狗'將入白宮(圖)

The Obamas have settled on a first pet - a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls are naming Bo (see photo), AP reported. The black and white dog, a gift from Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, will make his big debut Tuesday afternoon. The Obamas opted for a Portuguese water dog because their eldest daughter Malia has allergies and the breed has hair it does not shed.

據美聯社報道，奧巴馬一家已選定一條6個月大的葡萄牙水犬作為"白宮第一狗"，奧巴馬的女兒們給它取名"波"(見圖)。這只黑白兩色的小狗為馬薩諸塞州參議員愛德華·肯尼迪所贈，將于14日下午首次在白宮公開亮相。奧巴馬夫婦選擇葡萄牙水犬是因為大女兒馬莉婭有過敏癥，而這種狗不易掉毛。
