IT WAS meant to be a happy occasion. A display of decorations at the White House. Then this happened.

IT WAS meant to be a happy occasion. The showing of the Christmas decorations at the White House.

Sunny in happier times.

Then this happened.

Poor Ashton. Or is it poor Sunny?

There are conflicting reports emerging about the incident.

Michelle Obama to the rescue.

Some say the Obama's dog, Sunny, took an instant dislike to 2-year-old Ashtyn Gardner and wanted to show her who was boss of the carpet.

Sunny showing who's boss.

Others say the toddler toppled over at the sight of the gloriously groomed pooch.

The stylish Sunny wears a bow and collar with bells on it.

All was resolved soon after, with a lick from Sunny.

Sunny and Ashtyn make up.

A hug from the First Lady, Michelle Obama.

So much Christmas love.

And a dash of internet fame.

Ashtyn knows how to get attention.

Merry Christmas, Ash.

And so does Sunny.

Oh and don't worry, Bo hasn't been replaced. The Obamas now have two Portuguese Water Dog.
