Joe and Jill Biden announce death of ‘beloved’ dog Champon June 19, 2021 at 5:22 pm

Champ, a German Shepherd, had been with the couple for 13 years and lived at the White House.

“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. Wherever we were, he wanted to be, an everything was instantly better when he was next to us,” they said.
