Meet Sunny, the newest member of the Obama family.

Sunny, who was born in Michigan in June 2012, is a Portuguese water dog just like Bo and works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.

President Barack Obama posted this photo welcoming the new addition to the family on Twitter

Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo -- full of energy and very affectionate -- and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.

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 little lonely, according to the post penned by Michelle Obama's spokeswoman Hannah August.

We suspect Sunny will follow in Bo’s footsteps and keep the President company in the Oval Office, go for walks with the First Family after their 6:30 family dinner and even jump up on the First Lady’s lap from time to time!, the blog noted.

Meanwhile, the Obama family is making a contribution to the Washington Humane Society in honour of Sunny.
