\nChicago pool report #1

\nShortly after takeoff, a surprise gaggle on Air Force One: with Bo, the
\npresidential dog.<\/p>\n
His owner was just a few steps behind.<\/p>\n
President Obama watched and smiled as Bo ran down the aisle past a throng
\nof cooing reporters. Obama cracked the old joke about needing a dog in
\nWashington – since there’s no such thing as a real friend.<\/p>\n
Someone told him that Bo had been spotted at the airport interacting with
\nhis bomb-sniffing relatives. “I didn’t want him getting into it with the
\nSecret Service. I’ve seen them training,” Obama said.<\/p>\n
Coat jacket off, Obama seemed happy and relaxed during his brief foray to
\nthe back of the plane. (Credit to deputy press secretary Bill Burton for
\norchestrating the rare visit on a moment’s notice).<\/p>\n
\nLike owner, like pet. Bo tired quickly of the media, and headed back to the
\nfront of the aircraft. Obama followed suit, but not before assuring us that
\nthe dog was just going to see someone who feeds him regularly. Neither one
\ntook questions.<\/p>\n
\nBo made another spin through the press cabin a few minutes later, solo.<\/p>\n
Uneventful trip otherwise. Wheels down 7:02 PM CST.<\/p>\n
