無論是意志剛強的戰時總統羅斯福，還是零九年焦點人物奧巴馬，美國總統展現給世人的總是威嚴莊重的形象。然而私底下他們也有不為人知的柔情的一面，白宮種類繁多的寵物就是最好的證明。從聰明的拉布拉多犬到可愛的小貓崽，讓我們來看看白宮的“第一寵物”如何“叱咤風云”。
When Barack Obama won his bid for the presidency, he promised his daughters that they could choose a puppy. One of the concerns is that Malia Obama has allergies. The family chose a hypoallergenic Portuguese Water Dog with encouragement from Senator Ted Kennedy, who presented the first family with the dog as a gift. The puppy received his current name from president Obama's two daughters, Malia and Sasha, in part after their cousin's cat and Michelle Obama's father's nickname Diddley; the dog is a manesake of deceased singer Bo Diddley.
貝拉克•奧巴馬贏得總統大選后，答應兩個女兒領養一只小狗。考慮到瑪莉亞•奧巴馬有過敏癥，第一家庭選擇了一只不易引起過敏的葡萄牙水犬，這是參議員泰德•肯尼迪送給第一家庭的禮物。小狗現在的名字是奧巴馬總統的兩個女兒瑪莉亞和薩沙取得，一般取自她們表妹的一只叫“波”德貓，另一半取自米歇爾•奧巴馬父親的綽號“迪德利”，于是這只狗便與一位已故的歌手同名，叫做“波•迪德利”。
