I was reading an AP article about Bo and the following was mentioned:

To meet the demand for All Things Bo, the White House is distributing a Bo baseball card that reveals, among other things, that he can't swim and his goal is to become friends with foreign dignitaries. Anyone who writes to the dog (this happens frequently) is sent one in return. Independent of the White House, there also are Bo stuffed animal toys, a story book and jigsaw puzzle.

Of course I believe they are using the term baseball card loosely, as really this most likely should be a non-sports card.

I sent an email this morning to see if I can get a card.

If you want to see it, you can see the front of the card here:

Bo Trading Card

From here you can download a .pdf of the entire card, front and back.

Mike.

You've got to admit, Bo does look a lot like Wolfie, but with his fangs hidden.

I'm trying the regular avenues first. I just hate to be on record at the White House as a person who talks/emails dogs.

What's wrong with that, my cat has an email address and he gets just as many emails as I do. We use his address for all the product registrations so that all the unwanted emails goes there.

I received the ones from Ebay today. They are larger than a standard sized trading card - about 3 1/2" x 5.

Mike.
