President Joe Biden and his family are mourning the loss today of their German shepherd, Champ, who on Saturday died at the age of 13. No specific cause of death was shared.
"Our hearts are heavy today as we let you all know that our beloved German Shepherd, Champ, passed away peacefully at home," a statement from the White House said."He was our constant, cherished companion during the last 13 years and was adored by the entire Biden family. "Even as Champ’s strength waned in his last months, when we came into a room, he would immediately pull himself up, his tail always wagging, and nuzzle us for an ear scratch or a belly rub."
President Joe Biden walks with his dogs Major, left, and Champ in the Rose Garden of the White House on Jan. 26, 2021.Champ was one of two dogs to move into the White House in January. There hadn't been a presidential pet during former President Donald Trump's administration, but that changed when Champ and Major, who was the first rescue dog to ever live in the White House, bounded into the West Wing.
"Wherever we were, he wanted to be, and everything was instantly better when he was next to us," the statement continued."He loved nothing more than curling up at our feet in front of a fire at the end of the day, joining us as a comforting presence in meetings, or sunning himself in the White House garden."
💔🙏
So sad to loose a member of your family😞
The worst heartache; I understand. So sorry Biden family
All the PUA money the Republican governors cancelled. Md alone would be 12 billion dollars. All that money should be directed to make all shelters non kill shelters. Don't let governors use money,The President should direct the use of funds.
Time to do a Presidential order blocking all states from having and being kill shelters. New York, Miami, Texas Maryland. the only state with a conscience is Delaware . the state the President comes from.
To light your way across the rainbow bridge.
We lost our Lab of 13 years, two years ago, almost to the day. He gave us his unconditional love. We all still miss him.
So sad. I feel for Joe Biden’s loss and so sad for the loss of his friend
