Major The Dog Came From Animal Shelter. Now He’s Headed To White House [1]

"A Joe Biden presidency means his two German shepherds, Major and Champ, will be First Pets."

"The White House is going back to the dogs ― including a shelter dog.

After four years of President Donald Trump’s famously pet-free tenure, Joe Biden winning the 2020 presidential election means that the patter of furred feet will likely be heard inside the White House once more.

The Biden family has two German shepherds: Champ, purchased from a breeder in 2008, and Major, adopted from an animal shelter 10 years later."
