US President Joe Biden’s dog champ has died at the age of 13. Champ was a German Shepherd dog breed. Biden and his wife, Jill, said in their statement that the champ had been his best friend for years. Apart from him, the entire Biden family loved him very much. The champ became part of the family only when Biden was elected vice-president in 2008. The champ’s health was declining due to age, which led to his death on Saturday at Biden’s home.
In a statement tweeted from the official Twitter handle of President Joe Biden, he and his wife Jill Biden said, “He was our favorite companion for 13 years and the entire Biden family loved him dearly.” He was with us in our wonderful moments of happiness and our sad days and understood our emotions without expressing them.’ After the death of the champ, the German Shepherd breed dog ‘Major’ is now left in the Biden family. Its age is 3 years.
According to the report published in CNN, Joe Biden was gifted by his wife to the champ after his victory in the 2008 elections. At that time the champ was only one month old. In this election, Barack Obama was elected as President and Joe Biden as Vice President. Both Biden’s dogs have also been part of advertisements for election campaigns in the 2021 US presidential elections. After winning the election, his favorite members were also living here with the Biden family in the White House.
