President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden announced the passing of their cherished German Shepherd, Champ, who had been a beloved member of the Biden family since 2008. Champ peacefully passed away at their family residence in Delaware, leaving the Bidens heartbroken.

Throughout his life, Champ brought immense joy and comfort to the Bidens. He was a constant companion, whether cuddling by the fire, attending meetings, or playing with their grandchildren. Named in honor of Joe Biden’s father, Champ symbolized strength and resilience.

In 2018, the Bidens welcomed another German Shepherd, Major, into their family. Major and Champ became inseparable companions and played important roles in Biden’s presidential campaign, continuing the tradition of having a furry friend in the White House.

Champ’s passing has left a void in the Bidens’ hearts. They will always remember his wagging tail, affectionate nature, and unwavering loyalty.
