Obamas Announce Passing of Family Dog Sunny
Former President Barack Obama announced the passing of the family's pet dog, Sunny, a 13-year-old Portuguese water dog. Sunny joined the Obama family in 2013 during their second term in the White House. President Obama shared on social media that the family, including their first dog Bo, immediately fell in love with Sunny. He described Sunny as athletic, energetic, and protective of Bo, noting her unusual dislike for water despite her breed. Sunny's death follows that of Bo, who passed away in 2021. The announcement highlights the role of pets in presidential families, a tradition observed by many U.S. presidents.
