Forget the Easter bunny - the Obama girls are looking forward to a real, live dog.
The First Family - and first-time dog owners - will reportedly welcome a black Portuguese Water Dog puppy to the White House on Tuesday, according to the Web site TMZ.
President Obama famously promised his daughters, Malia and Sasha, a pup last year.
The future First Dog is reportedly a 6-month-old male pup which was returned to a kennel by its first owners.
