På Vita Husets hemsida kan man läsa om att President Obamas familj har fått tillökning i form av en hund till, Bo har fått en lillasyster.
Sunny är av samma ras som Obamas tidigare hund Bo, dvs Portugisisk vattenhund och föddes i juni 2012 i Michigan. Hon passar perfekt in i familjen och Bo har äntligen fått sin efterlängtade lillasyster 🙂
Se Bo och Sunny leka tillsammans på Vita Husets video

Obama Comes Out Against Dog Breed-Specific Legislation, Joins The Fight For Pit Bulls
Here’s the White House’s full statement:
We don’t support breed-specific legislation — research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources.
In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at twenty years of data about dog bites and human fatalities in the United States. They found that fatal attacks represent a very small proportion of dog bite injuries to people and that it’s virtually impossible to calculate bite rates for specific breeds.
The CDC also noted that the types of people who look to exploit dogs aren’t deterred by breed regulations — when their communities establish a ban, these people just seek out new, unregulated breeds. And the simple fact is that dogs of any breed can become dangerous when they’re intentionally or unintentionally raised to be aggressive.
For all those reasons, the CDC officially recommends against breed-specific legislation — which they call inappropriate. You can read more from them here.
As an alternative to breed-specific policies, the CDC recommends a community-based approach to prevent dog bites. And ultimately, we think that’s a much more promising way to build stronger communities of pets and pet owners.
