(CBS) The First Family's puppy, Bo, has children all around the country wanting a family pet just like him.
Now kids can have their very own "Bo Obama" -- in plush, that is!
The "First Dog" has inspired Ty Inc., the maker of Beanie Babies, to create The Bo Collection, which is based on black and white Portuguese Water Dogs.
"Beanie Bo" has become quite a hit among the younger set.
"We are very proud of the First Family and wanted to join in celebrating their choice of a family pet," says Ty Warner, founder and CEO, Ty Inc. "Now everyone can own a little Bo and join in the excitement."

Smith also pointed out that, when customers purchase Bo, the Beanie Baby, Ty donates a portion of proceeds to local animal shelters.

0Bama should have registered Bo and his image. Hopefully the local shelters get more than a pittance from this. I heard on Fox News that some of these are selling for $100+ on EBay already. Stupid people.

If I wasn't such a tightwad, I'd buy one for the toilet bowl.

Looks like a good toy for my Bassets! Only problem is, they'd tear it to bits the first day!
