Beyond his role as a beloved family pet, Bo served as a symbol of companionship, joy, and love during the Obama administration.

His presence brought comfort and warmth to the White House, providing a sense of normalcy amidst the demands of public life.

In a heartfelt statement, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama expressed their deep sadness over Bo’s passing, describing him as a “true friend” and a “loyal companion.”

They fondly recalled the joy and laughter Bo brought into their lives and thanked him for the countless memories they shared.
