US First Lady Michelle Obama has described America's First Dog Bo, the Portuguese water dog that was a gift to her children Sasha and Malia, as "crazy".
"He likes to play a lot. He's kind of crazy, but he's still a puppy. He loves to chew on people's feet," Michelle said of six-month-old Bo, during a meet-and-greet session with around 100 children of White House staffers.
The First Lady has also described how the family are adjusting to life with the playful puppy who has been keeping President Barack Obama up late. "It was like 10 o'clock.

Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around. The President and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball. And it was like there was another person in the house," said Michelle.
When one youngster asked what she'd do if Bo ran away, Michelle replied, "I would be very sad, but... he has (dog) tags, and hopefully someone would find him and bring him back."
