First dogs Champ and Major join the Bidens in White House; are the stars of best-selling children’s book
Updated Jan 25, 2021;
The Bidens’ two German shepherds, Champ and Major, officially joined the first family in their new residence at the White House on Sunday.
“The First Family wanted to get settled before bringing the dogs down to Washington from Delaware. Champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace, and Major loved running around on the South Lawn,” said Michael LaRosa, First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, in a statement to CNN.
If getting used to a new residence wasn’t enough excitement for two dogs, along comes news that Champ and Major are also the subject of a best-selling book.

Pets are our pride and joy – they provide comfort and companionship (and they just look cute in general). And naturally we are rooting for their happy ending; whether it’s a successful adoption or a daring rescue, as long as the pets come out on top, we tend to celebrate.
And it’s even more amazing when we’re faced with the aforementioned aspects, but the story also has an inspiring twist. That’s exactly the case with one of the doggies that will be coming to living in the White House. The brilliantly named Major Biden has a colorful life, and his success was celebrated by the rescue that took care of him before the Bidens.

This story of a historical first is one we can all get behind. It is a nice palate cleanser from the day’s usual news stories. Major Biden, the Biden’s shelter dog, was honored with a virtual indoguration. The Delaware Humane Association (DHA) and Pumpkin Pet Insurance hosted the event along with Jill Martin of NBC’s
Today. The shelter called it the “largest virtual party for dogs.”
You may remember Major from recent headlines – he is the dog that broke Joe Biden’s foot. For whatever creepy reason, Biden was chasing Major, a German Shepherd, after exiting the shower at his Delaware home. The vision of a naked Biden running through his home after his dog and pulling his tail is one that no one needs. Who can blame the dog for tripping the old man?
President-elect Joe Biden’s rescue dog, Major, received his own swearing-in to the White House on Sunday, which included a fundraiser for the shelter from which he was adopted.
