Pope Francis meets the first dogs during White House visit

In addition to meeting with President Obama at the White House Wednesday, Pope Francis spent time with two other members of the first family -- Sunny and Bo, the Obamas' dogs.

Following a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House attended by thousands of people, Obama and the pope held a private meeting in the Oval Office. That's where the pontiff got to meet the Portuguese water dogs.

Six-year-old Bo joined the first family in 2009, while 3-year-old Sunny was welcomed into the family in 2013.
