They are historic presidentials in the USA for several reasons. For the first time, a woman is Vice President: Kamala Harris. In addition, the Democrat is the first African American and also the first with Asian descent to take the job. Also Jill Biden, the first lady, will be the first to want to keep working (in this case, as a teacher) and is the first wife of a president who is Jewish. But there is another new historical detail: the pets of the Biden family also make history.
After Barack Obama adopted Bo, the Portuguese water dog, and made it known all over the world, he is now Major, Joe Biden’s German shepherd who focuses attention. The animal will be the first dog rescued from an animal shelter to be a tenant in the White house.
Major was welcomed into the Delaware Humane Society association with the brothers. The litter had been poisoned and five dogs were recovering. In 2018, on Facebook, Biden’s daughter Ashley saw a publication calling for the adoption of dogs and told her father. Not resisting Major’s charms, he adopted the dog immediately.
The Biden also had another German shepherd, Champ. The White House has a long history of four-legged tenants, yet Donald Trump didn’t take any dogs when he took over. He was the only president to do so since William McKinley, who served until his assassination in 1901, but who still had other pets, such as roosters, cats and a parrot.
On the subject, Donald Trump commented, when he took his first term, that he was not going to adopt a dog on purpose because “fake partnership”. “Besides, I don’t have time, I’ll be very busy. White House lawn? “he said.
“We are going to put dogs back in the White House,” wrote Biden on social media in early November. The forecast will come to fruition in January 2021.
