Two-year-old Major joined 12-year-old Champ, who was a post-election gift from Jill to Joe in 2008.
According to NBC News, presidential pets are a longstanding tradition in the White House.
The Biden’s German shepherds will fill empty roles as the first canines as President Donald Trump is the first president in more than a century to not welcome any pet, according to the Washington Post.
