Biden’s German shepherd dog Champ and Major just moved into the White House, so they were likely busy experiencing a lot of new sights and sounds during Biden’s press conference.

First Lady Jill Biden’s office shared with CBS News: “Champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace and Major loved running around on the South Lawn.”

The Biden’s dogs moved into the White House on Sunday, the day before they were heard barking during a press conference, Tucson.com reported.

First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa said that the Bidens wanted to get settled in first before bringing the dogs. LaRosa said: “The first family wanted to get settled before bringing the dogs down to Washington from Delaware.”

Champ has been a member of the Biden family for 10 years. The Bidens first adopted him just weeks after Biden became Vice President, Tucson.com reported. Major is a shelter dog that the Bidens adopted in November 2018.

Major is the first shelter dog to live in the White House, Tucson.com reported. He’s not the first rescue, however. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson had a mixed-breed dog named Yuki who was a rescue. And former President Bill Clinton had a cat named Socks who is a rescue.

The Bidens are also planning to adopt a cat. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Twitter about the cat: “I’m also wondering about the cat because the cat is going to dominate the internet whenever the cat is announced and wherever that cat is found.”

In November, after Biden won the election, the Bidens announced that they would add a cat to the family, USA Today reported. First Lady Jill Biden had previously said that she would love to get a cat, telling Fox: “I’d love to get a cat. I love having animals around the house.”
