First Granny Loves Bo “Almost Like a Person”

Breaking News! Bo Is "Precious"

Living in the White House is one thing. But Malia and Sasha Obama are having yet another childhood experience their grandmother didn't. Marian Robinson didn't have a dog growing up. Neither did her daughter, first lady Michelle Obama. But Malia and Sasha were promised a puppy by their father on election night, and they brought home Bo in spring 2009.

Now Robinson says she loves the curly-haired Bo "almost like a person." While speaking to a group of schoolkids, she told them that she thinks Bo is "precious."

Robinson was chatting with a hundred pre-kindergarten through third-grade students Thursday. She answered the kids' questions after reading to them during an Education Department-sponsored story hour.
