Champ died today, he was 13.  So sorry.  Wonder if there will be a replacement puppy so Major is not lonely.

I hope so... the replacement puppy can be another German Shepard and can come with a rescue kitten to join the First cat. ?

Bidens welcome new puppy and cat while Major goes to friends

Quote

 

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday introduced the newest member of his family, a purebred German shepherd puppy named Commander, while the first lady’s office said the cat she promised more than a year ago to bring to the White House will finally join them in January.

But the news wasn’t as “paws-itive” for another member of the Biden animal family. The family decided it was best for their other German shepherd, Major, to live in a quieter environment with friends after some biting incidents.

Biden shared a photo on his official Twitter account of the 3-month-old male puppy with a caption that said, “Welcome to the White House, Commander.” He also released a brief video of him tossing a ball to Commander and walking the leashed dog into the White House.

Commander was born Sept. 1 and arrived at the White House on Monday afternoon, a gift from the president’s brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law Sara Biden, according to Michael LaRosa, a spokesperson for first lady Jill Biden.

His name appears to be a play on Biden’s status as commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces....

Commander is a higher rank compared to Majors, so that is a cute name given he is younger than Major and the new pup in the family!  More puppy news:  Biden's new German shepherd draws attention from pup-arazzi (MSN.com)-(copy and paste into another web browser if needed):

Yes!  I love Tabbies, they are the best! Does anyone know if Willow is a rescue?  All the kitties that have owned me and my household have been rescues. ?

It's nice to have animal lovers back in the white house.
