First dog steals Michelle Obama's spotlight

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSVN) -- This holiday season, a special Christmas "tail" to share with you from the nation's capital.

"Good afternoon everyone," said First Lady Michelle Obama. "I'm CEO of Children's National. This is exactly what he does at home. He tries to beat Malia and Sasha to my lap. This is one of the favorite things to do in the holidays to come and see all of you!"

First dog, Bo, stole the spotlight at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, hopping right onto the first lady's lap.

Michelle Obama visited the hospital to read "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" to the kids there, a tradition dating back to the 1950's.
