US President Barack Obama and his family welcomed a playful new addition to the White House - a dog called Sunny.
The black Portuguese water dog joins the first family's other four-legged friend of the same breed, Bo.
"Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo - full of energy and very affectionate - and the first family picked her name because it fits her cheerful personality," said a post on the White House blog.
Bo joined the Obamas shortly after they moved into the White House in 2009, in keeping with a promise the president had made to his daughters the night he was elected in November 2008.
But Bo, a male, was a tad lonely, according to the post penned by Michelle Obama's spokeswoman Hannah August.
