Book Description

August 11, 2009
From the moment Barack Obama announced that he would get a dog for his daughters upon winning the White House, the “First Pet” has been at the top of the news cycle. And from the moment Portuguese water dog Bo Obama was officially introduced to the nation—in front of the largest press pool since Queen Elizabeth’s state visit in 2007!— reporters everywhere have been trying to get the scoop on America’s top dog.

Now, through a special loophole in the Freedom of Information Act (apparently dogs aren’t covered), citizens of the world can see the White House in a whole new way! Open the secret files of America’s First Top Dog to get a highly classified and highly entertaining knee-high glimpse of life in the White House, all told in first-pooch point of view.

Following in the rich tradition of such renowned presidential pets as FDR’s Scottish terrier Fala, Harding’s Airedale, George HW Bush’s Millie, and the Clintons’ cat Socks, Bo Obama will surely be making headlines for the next 4-to-8 years!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best from Mr. Richmond, May 8, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bo Confidential: The Secret Files of America's First Dog (Hardcover)
I really like Tom Richmond's work and almost without thinking I purchased this new released book. Well let me tell you I regretted it. Not the best caricatures from this master and kind of wrapped up in a clear hurry to launch it. Very disappointing I suggest buying some back issues of MAD if what you want is to have more of Mr. Richmond

5.0 out of 5 stars A laugh on every page, January 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bo Confidential: The Secret Files of America's First Dog (Hardcover)
I loved this book. No matter what your politics, it is a laugh on every page. I especially liked the tour of the bathrooms and his view of Nancy Pelosi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bo Confidential: the secret files of America's first dog, November 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is a good laugh. Told from Bo's point of view, it is a chuckle a page. Written by writers at Mad, it has the right illustrations and dialog to make it believable. It offers a view of the inside of the White House
