Besides the awesome high-five demonstration, you can tell that Bo is well trained. He does not bite Oprah when she (a complete stranger) roughly pets him while he isn't looking. He does not attack the cameras/camera people. He just chills out in the White House/dream doggy playground.
@YourDoctrinaire: My sister's dog totally does!! Her husband puts out his fist and the dog jumps up and hits it with his snout when you command "fist bump!". It's pretty adorable.
I can't help but wonder - what was Bo doing before the ladies came along? Taking a jog around the white house? Sniffing some plants, unattended? Or does he have a dog nanny of some kind?
@vamvaki_poulaki: Can you imagine Secret Service agents talking into their sleeves: "K9 One is on the move! Heading to the doggie-door and the North Lawn! I'm on him! OK - He's stopped near the Reagan Birdbath. OH NO! SQUIRREL!! ALL HANDS - NORTH LAWN!!"
I love when he runs to Michelle and it's clearly a "Moooooom! Hi Mom hi Mom hi Mom hi Mom!" My puppy does it to me whenever I walk in the room and it's just about the cutest thing ever.

On the real tip, though, Bo is adorable.

I love how he does his little tricks, and at the end just flops over, like, "And....scene."

Without the vaguely creepy staring, of course.
