WASHINGTON — First dog Bo is a “kind of crazy” puppy who likes to chew on people’s feet, Michelle Obama told children visiting the White House on Thursday.

The first lady is spending a lot of time walking and training the 6-month-old Portuguese water dog who became a member of the president’s family last week. An energetic breed, Bo plays well into the night, as he did Wednesday. “It was like 10 o’clock. Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around,” the first lady said. “The president and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball.

“He’s kind of crazy, but he’s still a puppy,” she told kids invited to a program for Take Your Child to Work Day. The Associated Press
