If there’s anything as soul-soothing as our new POTUS these days, it must be the DOTUS. Meet Biden’s first pets-elect, two impawsibly cute German shepherds, Champ and Major, who are bringing fur and fun back to the White House after Trump’s dog-free administration.

The Bidens got Champ as a puppy back in 2008, and his name refers to Joe’s 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.

Luckily for all their fans out there, Champ and Major have now dipped their paws into social media and are now tweeting and Instagramming to their followers from all around the world. And they seem to be doing a smashing job with the captions written in newly adopted doggo lingo. But how could they not be feeling like su-paw-stars after their dad made them so proud?

Contrary to Biden, ex-president Trump had no dogs, which made him the first president without one since William McKinley, who served from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. McKinley had a rather peculiar collection of pets like a whistling parrot, roosters, and cats.

A year ago, Trump explained to the Washington Post that he thought it would seem “phony” and that he had too much work on his hands. “I wouldn’t mind having one, honestly, but I don’t have any time. How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?”

Thus, Biden’s tweet on November 1st which reads “Let’s put dogs back in the White House.” went viral, reaching 1.8 million people. Two happy German shepherds will be running errands around the White House as soon as the Bidens move into their new presidential home.

But if we look back through history, we see that canines indeed were the most popular choice of pets for past presidents, but they weren’t the only ones. John F. Kennedy kept ponies, Calvin Coolidge had a bobcat, Teddy Roosevelt had a rooster, and Thomas Jefferson kept a pair of grizzly bear cubs on the White House lawn.

I prefer cats to dogs but if I had the space and time, I would surely adopt a rescue dog. I do believe animals bring goodness to our lives... but don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that 'pet people' are better people in general. The President Elect and The First Lady Biden do appear to be wholesome, caring, invested people.

Same. Dogs require a lot more responsibility than cats and I’m not a very patient person lol. Dogs are great though. They’re loyal and will love you for life

good thing he won lmao is it just me or do trump supporters only care about children in the womb that aren't even baby just fertilized eggs but they don't care about kids being ripped away from their family and shoved in cages and don't care about the kids being shot by police in the street cause of their skin color also why does trump care so much about the Hispanic and muslum immigrants but does not care about the thousands of Canadian immigrants
