Presidential Pet. He was one of the "first dogs" of President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and First Lady Jill Biden. He was a German Shepherd. The Bidens purchased him as a puppy from a breeder after the 2008 presidential election and was named by Biden's granddaughters. The name Champ came from the advice that Biden's father would give him, "Any time you get knocked down, champ, get up!" He lived with the Bidens at the vice presidential residence from 2009 to 2017 and came with them to the White House after Biden's inauguration as president in January of 2021.
