Bo The Dog Inspects White House Holiday Decorations First Dog Bo is giving his stamp of approval to this year's holiday decorations at the White House. In a highly produced White House video, Bo roams the halls, sometimes in slow motion, inspecting the decorations room by room at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The famous Portuguese water dog comes face-to-face with the detailed ornaments, closely circles the 18-foot-6-inch tall Fraser fir in the Blue Room, and, most amusingly, faces off with a giant topiary made in his likeness out of pom-poms. The real Bo and his imposter exchange ominous glances, aided by the dramatic music. Bo appears to emerge from the confrontation victorious, donning a red Santa hat and panting for the camera.
