Former President Barack Obama shared the sad news of the passing of his family’s 13-year-old Portuguese water dog, Sunny, who had been a cherished member of the Obama family since 2013 during their second term in the White House. Sunny was the family’s second dog, following Bo, who passed away in 2021. Known for her energetic and athletic nature, Sunny was also described as protective of Bo, the family’s first dog. In a heartfelt social media post, Obama paid tribute to Sunny, recalling her as a beloved companion who had a special bond with his daughters, Sasha and Malia. He humorously noted that while the girls sometimes annoyed Sunny by poking her when she was napping, Sunny remained devoted to them. Additionally, Sunny was fond of the family’s staff, often following them around and offering help with their work. Obama reflected on Sunny’s unique personality, mentioning her preference for people over other dogs, her tendency to drink loudly and messily, and her dislike of getting wet—unusual for a Portuguese water dog, which is typically known for its affinity for water. Despite these quirks, Obama called Sunny “pretty much perfect,” expressing that she would be deeply missed. He concluded his tribute with the hope that Sunny is now with Bo, ensuring that her former companion is doing well. The passing of Sunny marks the end of an era for the Obama family, who had shared many memories with their loyal and loving dog during their time in the White House.
