Dale Haney Walks Bo and Sunny

This photograph of Dale Haney, superintendent for the White House Grounds, leading Bo and Sunny, the Obama family's Portuguese Water Dogs, was taken by Matthew D'Agostino for the White House Historical Association on April 6, 2015. The presidential pooches joined President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Bo and Sunny were also represented on some of the official White House Easter Eggs for 2015. While vibrantly colored wooden eggs had facsimiles of the president and first lady's signatures on the back, paw prints representing Bo and Sunny's signatures appeared on the back of plain American birch wood official White House Easter Eggs. In addition to his work on the grounds, Dale Haney looked after every president's dog since King Timahoe, President Richard M. Nixon's Irish Setter.
