The former US Vice President and his two German shepherds, Champ and Major, are expected to restore the time-honored tradition once he assumes office.

According to the New York Times, President Donald Trump who was elected in 2016 was the first US president who did not have a pet in any kind in over 100 years.

Mr. Biden, on the other hand, got a German Shepherd puppy named Champ from a breeder in 2008.

In 2018, the Biden family adopted another dog named Major from the Delaware Humane Association.

You may have already seen, but we have a new addition to the Biden family that we are pretty excited to spend the holidays with. Meet Major, a German Shepherd we rescued a few months back. (This is one of the rare times we've gotten him to sit still.)

Trump’s predecessor, former President Barack Obama, and his family had taken care of two Portuguese water dogs named Bo and Sunny during their time at the White House.

Some Americans celebrate #NationalCatDay, some celebrate #NationalDogDay — President Trump celebrates neither. It says a lot. It’s time we put a pet back in the White House. Chip in if you agree [Link in bio]

Joe Biden won the 2020 US Presidential Elections on Saturday after claiming Pennslyvannia's 20 electoral votes to push him beyond the needed 270 to win. 

Shortly after and together with his running mate Kamala Harris, they addressed their supporters in a parking lot in Delaware, where they declared victory and promised to get to work pronto. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
