Last afternoon, Michelle and Barack Obama took to Instagram and informed that their beloved dog Bo succumbed to cancer. "For more than a decade, Bo was a constant, comforting presence in our lives. He was there when the girls came home from school, greeting them with a wag," Michelle wrote. Here's looking back at some of the joyful moments. (Photo: Barack Obama/Instagram)

"On the campaign trail in 2008, we promised our daughters that we would get a puppy after the election. At the time, Bo was supposed to be a companion for the girls. We had no idea how much he would mean to all of us," she wrote. (Photo: Barack Obama/Instagram)
"As a family, we will miss Bo dearly. But we are thankful that he lived such a joyful life full of snuggles, games of fetch, and evenings spent lying on the couch," she further wrote. (Photo: Michelle Obama/Instagram)
"He was there when Barack and I needed a break, sauntering into one of our offices like he owned the place, a ball clamped firmly in his teeth," she stated. (Photo: Michelle Obama/Instagram)
