Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are sad. Their dog Sunny is dead. Sunny was 13 years old.
Sunny was a water dog from Portugal. Sunny came to the family in the year 2013. This was during the time of Obama as boss.
The dog lived with the family in the White House. She was known there as First Dog. This means first dog in English.
The Obamas write about Sunny on the internet. They say: Sunny was a loved member of the family. The dog had much power. She liked to chase birds and squirrels.
But Sunny also had funny ways. She liked people more than other dogs. She drank water with a loud sound. And she did not want to get wet. This is funny for a water dog.
Before, the Obamas had another dog. His name was Bo. Bo died already in the year 2021. Dogs have a long history in the White House.
Almost every president had an animal there. Barack Obama promised the dog to his daughters. This was before his election as president in the year 2008. The family misses Sunny a lot.
