Major was adopted two years ago through the Delaware Humane Association and is the first shelter dog to move into the White House.
Champ, on the other hand, has been with the Biden family for over 10 years now.
Reporters were quick to spot the two dogs on the White House grounds.

The first dogs have already started loving their new home. A statement by the First Lady’s office read:
Champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace, and Major loved running around on the South Lawn.
Welcome to the White House, doggos.
