Biden’s Dogs Just Moved Into The White House And The Photos Are Just Precious (11 Pics)

President Joe Biden’s dogs have officially moved into the White House, and the internet is loving the wholesome canine pics. Champ and Major Biden arrived at their new home in Washington from Delaware on Sunday, January 24, even though Biden officially became the president of the United States during a ceremony on January 20. Why not have the dogs move in immediately?

Well, according to Michael LaRosa, press secretary for Jill Biden, the First Family wanted to get all settled in before doing so. It all makes sense—you want your doggos to come once everything’s all figured out and there’s less chaos.

When you’re done enjoying this post and all of the photos of America’s First Pets, check out Bored Panda’s recent article about Major’s “indoguration” that 10k people tuned in to watch right here. Major and Champ are so popular, they even have a website and social media accounts dedicated to their activity.

The White House reports that Champ is loving his dog bed by the fireplace (not going to lie, we’re a bit jealous) while Major is having fun running around the South Lawn.

The First Dogs’ fans even put out a hilarious ‘official statement’ full of woofs on their behalf. The statement that got translated so that we hoomans could understand it, too. They said that they love it at the White House, everyone’s petting and feeding them, and they enjoyed taking a nap at the Oval Pawwfice. They also explained how they plan to explore the West Wing and return the Rose Garden to its “former glory” by digging through it (which is a subtle dig at the former administration).

The dogs are absolutely loving it there

Major and Champ are both German Shepherds. The Bidens permanently adopted Major in 2018 after fostering him for some time when he had to stay at a shelter. He’s the first shelter dog to live in the White House, and we couldn’t be more proud. While Major is 3 years old, the Bidens have had Champ since December 2008.

This is the first time since 2017, when the Obamas left, that pets have taken up residence in the White House.
