The Obamas got a new puppy on Monday, a black puffball named Sunny who's a Portuguese waterdog just like Bo. Sunny is a Trojan horse of cute, an adorable ball of fur on the outside that masks an insidious plot lurking at her core. Here are some of the best conspiracy theories about Sunny that the Internet has come up with in less than 24 hours. Granted, some of them might be jokes.

Sunny's real name is Sunni

Sunny? That sounds sort of close to Sunni, as in the branch of Islam, the religion some conspiracy theorists think President Obama adheres to.

Great. Obama has another dog... Cost taxpayers MORE to transport 2? Is it's name pronounced Sunny? Or SUNNI?? #ObamasNewDog #Distractions — CAUGHT UP ALIVE NTWK (@CUA_Network) August 20, 2013

Did I hear this right? Did Barack Obama name the new dog Sunni? — M. Roberson (@Nel_Mezzo) August 20, 2013

Obama insulting choice of name for his new dog (Sunni) triggers religious protests all over the world (~__^ ) — Captain_Marlow (@Captain_Marlow) August 20, 2013

Sunny is black because the Obamas are racist

"With the addition of Sunny, the Obamas now have two black Portuguese water dogs," The Daily Caller's Patrick Howley reported on Monday. "The Obamas do not have any white dogs." The Daily Caller was not alone in this assessment.

Lol. I see Obama keeping the family pure with another black dog. — Gabe (@OneConquistador) August 20, 2013

We might note that dog fur is less like human skin than like human hair, so the real outrage should be that the Obamas don't have any blonde dogs. (Photo via Pete Souza on Twitter.)
