President Biden @POTUS-8/JJ
United States government official
Our family lost our loving companion Champ today. I will miss
him.
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
AND THE FIRST LADY ON THE
PASSING OF THEIR BELOVED
GERMAN SHEPHERD, CHAMP
Our hearts are heavy today as we let you all know that our beloved
German Shepherd, Champ, passed away peacefully at home. He was our
constant, cherished companion during the last 13 years and was adored
by the entire Biden family. 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 muzzle us for an ear scratch or a belly rub
Wherever we were, he wanted to be, and everything was instantly better
when he was next to us. He loved nothing more than curling up at our
feet in front of a fire at the end of the day, joining us as a comforting
presence in meetings, or sunning himself in the White House garden. In
his younger days, he was happiest chasing golf balls on the front lawn of
the Naval Observatory or racing to catch our grandchildren as they ran
around our backyard in Delaware. In our most joyful moments and in our
most grief-stricken days, he was there with us, sensitive to our every
unspoken feeling and emotion. We love our sweet, good boy and will
miss him always.

From one animal lover to another, I'm so sorry for your loss.
