Bo is not technically a therapy dog, but I am sure he brought the patients at Children's National Medical Center in Washington D.C. a lot of joy. Mrs. Obama was there with the First Dog to read the children a Christmas story.

Bo Obama in his festive lei appears to be the perfect First Pup in the White House's Diplomatic Reception Room, December 3, 2009. This sweet dog never chewed on shoes or kept the President awake playing ball in the hallway all night. Who's a gooood boy?
