For more than a decade, Bo was a constant, gentle presence in our lives—happy to see us on our good days, our bad days, and everyday in between." Another tweet read, "He tolerated all the fuss that came with being in the White House, had a big bark but no bite, loved to jump in the pool in the summer, was unflappable with children, lived for scraps around the dinner table, and had great hair."

Sharing a picture of Bo, Barack Obama further wrote, "He was exactly what we needed and more than we ever expected. We will miss him dearly." As netizens started pouring in their condolences and tributes, a fan wrote, "I love this man and his family so much that even the loss of his dog made me tear up. Rest In Peace Bo."
