Bo came to the White House in 2009. He was presented the first family by Senator Ted Kennedy. During the presidential election, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said that after the election they would give their daughters a new dog. They were not just talking about the fact that the dog should be taken from the shelter.

But their search was complicated by the fact that his daughter Malia was allergic to animal dander, so not every non-pedigreed dog appealed to them.

As far as Bo, it was thrown away by his first master at the age of 6 months, so in this sense, he appealed to them. In addition, this dog breed has hypoallergenic fur that actually decided the fate of Bo.
