TY Beanie Bo

Remember TY Inc, the Beanie Babies company who recently created an uproar over it's dolls resembling Sasha and Malia Obama? Well, they've bounced right back with another "beanie" member of the Obama family - none other than the "first" dog, Bo. The real Bo, a Portugese water dog, still a puppy, is only 6 months old. The black and white dog was a gift from Senator Edward Kennedy to the Obama children.

The beanie version of Bo was put on sale for $4.99 and has already been lapped up by collectors and TY fans. TY says that a portion of the proceeds from Beanie Bo's sale will go to animal shelters.
