Make Bo Obama, the First Dog, available to the American people for public snuggle and play time on White House premises

Created by R.G. on January 18, 2013

There are many reasons that more interaction with dogs would benefit this country. But, we are not just petitioning for access to any dog. We believe Bo, in particular, is specifically qualified for this.

Why? Well, Bo is really cute. He likes to frolic around the White House yard and is so playfully rambunctious he even crashed a White House news report. He also likes to inspect suspicious objects such as Christmas decorations.

Bo loves to snuggle, arguably the most important skill ever. He demonstrated this when he jumped into Michelle's lap while she read Christmas stories.

As the First Dog, Bo would welcome people of all races, ages, religions, and sexual orientations alike.

But perhaps most importantly, his white paws make him look like he is wearing little white doggy socks.
