President's Dogs: The B Dogs

For Kids: The last three Presidents have each had a dog whose names start with the letter “B”.

• President William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton had a dog in The White House named Buddy.
• President George W. Bush (43) had a dog in The White House named Barney.
• President Barack Obama now will have a dog in The White House named Bo.

In each case, the dogs have names starting with the letter “B”.

News Flash for conspiracy theorists.

Puppy Scoop: Perhaps the real reason that Bo is named Bo may have nothing to do with the kids grandfather and the musician Bo Didley. For the more perspicacious conspirators amongst you: Note that Bo’s name represent the initials of President Barack Obama (who typically does not use his middle name. I suspect that he initials his documents BO)! Hmmm...

Q: Why do Presidents name their dogs starting with the letter “B”?
Ans: They want to be the Alpha (Top) Dog. So the real dogs have to settle for being the Beta or B-Dogs.
