Meet Bidens first pets-elect, two impawsibly cute German shepherds, Champ and Major, who are bringing fur and fun back to the White House after Trumps dog-free administration.
The Bidens got Champ as a puppy back in 2008, and his name refers to Joes dad telling his son Get up, champ when he was down.
And Major has already made history by being the first shelter dog to enjoy life in the White House.


Joe Bidens Dogs Have Twitter And Instagram Accounts And The Content Is Wholesome

Absolutely the goodest boys, those two.

(8,239 posts)looks like a "pinch me, I'm dreaming" grin, a look in his eyes like he's been given the most precious gift and he just can't believe it. He's had that look since the day the election was called for him

(39,812 posts)Dear Champ & Major,Four years w/ no doggo in the White House. The squirrels now think they are in charge. Time to kick them out along with Stephen Miller & Kayleigh McEnanylove, Bailey Bailey Warren (@FirstDogBailey) November 9, 2020

(39,812 posts)However, all bets are off when it comes to rats; she's a remorseless killing machine. Pearl the Wonder Dog is really, really fast when rats are on her radar. Truth be told, she actually hears them first, begins stalking them in stealth mode, then BAM, the deed is done. She's a small rescue Border Collie/Heeler mix, but we've come to realize that there may be a little rat terrier in her past.

(1,891 posts)I don't think he's ever found a rat, but the moles are dead meat if he can dig them up. Of course the yard suffers after a mole hunt.

(68,055 posts)That tells you a lot about our President, IMO. It's just a damn good thing that Joe is doing and continues to do!
I'm proud to be a Democrat (I never wasn't proud) and I wish I had a face mask that indicated that I voted for Biden. Hmm, maybe there's a shop with Biden merch...

I can't wait until he introduces them to Trump! I hope they go right for the crotch. Not that there will be much there for them to sink their teeth into.
