[00:00.04]President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden [00:04.68]made two important additions [00:07.76]to the White House over the weekend: their dogs. [00:12.76]German shepherds Champ and Major moved in on Sunday. [00:19.48]The first lady announced the big development on Twitter. [00:24.36]‘Champ and Major have joined us [00:27.12]in the White House!' she wrote on Monday. [00:31.32]The two have quickly made their presence known. [00:35.12]When reporters gathered Monday to watch the new president [00:39.36]sign an executive order, Champ and Major [00:43.60]could be heard barking outside. [00:47.04]Photographers took videos and pictures of Champ and Major [00:51.64]playing on the South Lawn of the White House. [00:55.68]Their arrival marks a return of the tradition of "first pets." [01:02.52]Many past presidents have brought their dogs [01:05.80]or other popular pets to the White House. [01:10.16]Donald Trump was the first president in many years [01:14.52]to not have a pet during his time in office. [01:19.08]The Bidens adopted Major from an animal shelter [01:23.08]in their home state of Delaware in 2018. [01:27.32]Today, Major is the first shelter rescue dog to live at the White House. [01:35.08]Adoption supporters have celebrated the history-making canine. [01:41.44]At the time of his adoption, [01:43.84]the Delaware Humane Society posted on Facebook: [01:48.00]"Today is Major's lucky day! [01:51.44]Not only did Major find his forever home, [01:55.64]but he got adopted by Vice President Joe Biden & Dr. Jill Biden!" [02:02.96]Major has gained national attention for a different reason, too. [02:08.32]Late last year, then President-elect Biden broke his foot [02:13.76]while playing with the young dog at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. [02:19.88]Champ is already used to life in the political spotlight. [02:24.96]At 12 years old, he was a part of the family when his owners [02:30.76]had the titles of America's vice president and second lady. [02:36.64]One thing both of America's top dogs might have to get used to? [02:42.08]A cat. [02:43.76]The Bidens said they planned to get a cat [02:47.32]shortly after their move to the White House.
