CHICAGO (AP) - You know you have a popular dog when it has its own Beanie Baby. By that standard, the Obamas' new puppy Bo is a
popular pooch.

Ty Incorporated has released a shaggy black and white version of Bo. And like its real-life counterpart, the stuffed version is very popular. The educational toy shop Learning Express in the Chicago suburb of St. Charles sold out within hours. The owner says he can't wait for a new shipment of the presidential Portuguese Water Dog.

The Bo Beanie Baby sells for about five bucks. But auction prices on eBay have hit nearly $140.

The Bo-modeled Beanie Baby was introduced on April 16, two days after the Portuguese Water Dog made his White House debut.
