President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden announced on Saturday that one of their German Shepherds, Champ, had died.
Champ had been with the family for 13 years and passed away peacefully at home, a statement from the White House said.
"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," the statement read.
"Wherever we were, he wanted to be, and everything was instantly better when he was next to us."
Champ, who was purchased from a Pennsylvania breeder, has been with the Bidens since 2008. The pooch was welcomed into the family on Christmas Day and named Champ by Biden's granddaughters.

13 years...I think that is a long time for dogs...
Maybe some of you own German Shepherds?

13 years is a good run for a GSD.

That was the other dog, I think.
Champ was incredibly crippled up and I hated the few times they had him on TV.
He was in great pain.

Thirteen yers is a very good run for a Shepherd. I think 9-11 years is average.

Hate to hear anyone furry family dies. Not his fault his owner is a b-hole. Is he the one that was biting.
To: kiryandil
Aw, now.
He may have lived with devils but he was a Good Boy, nonetheless.

always sad when a family pet’s time is up, regardless of whose it is. More a comment about the dog than the owner in this case.
