Bo Makes Beanie Baby Debut

(AP) The popularity of the Obamas' new puppy Bo is complete. The company that makes Beanie Babies has released a shaggy black and white version of the dog named "Bo" -- and he's selling fast.

Aalap Shah owns the educational toy shop Learning Express in the Chicago suburb of St. Charles. Shah says he can't wait to get another shipment of "Bo" dolls after his first batch sold within a few hours.

Oak Brook-based Ty Inc. introduced the stuffed animal on April 16, two days after Bo the Portuguese Water Dog made his White House debut. President Obama had promised his daughters a puppy during the presidential campaign.

The "Bo" Beanie Baby's suggested price is $4.99. It was auctioning Wednesday on eBay for between $5 and $139.95.
