(3,058 posts)I knew Major was a rescue dog, but just the way Biden walked through and out of the shelter shows how he is...gave Major the spotlight and said thank you to everyone. He is humble and has grace.
Trump never had a pet.

(2,042 posts)My husband and I lost our two beautiful German Shepherds to cancer a few years ago. Their markings were very similar to those of Champ and Major, so seeing these two gorgeous pups warms my heart and brings tears of remembrance to my eyes. So very happy to know that German Shepherds will soon grace the White House!

German Shepherds are a special breed, that is for sure.

(22,600 posts)Have an official photographer like Obama's who was always there. Trump's photographer would be summoned for posed photos.
Another thing, if you didn't see it on TV, over time a system evolved in Obama's White House to deal with the daily avalanche of mail. Every day several were entered into the computer for him to focus on...a special one for a personal reply was chosen. Word of the White House mail got around to Congress and soon the computer mail was being sent around to a lot of officials so they could also keep their fingers on the national pulse.
So! There are two more jobs Biden needs to get done!

My friend Greg works at DHA and was there when the puppies came in and when Biden picked up Major. He filmed a lot of the clips and could only be seen at the end raising his arms inside the facility while Biden is walking the dog outside.

canetoad
(17,208 posts)Not to like about Ivana, but she's a dog lover and she gave us the template for Patsy Stone. That is an amazing cultural contribution.

(Why doesn't Trump like pets? Needs to be the smartest thing in the room, doesn't he?)

(15,565 posts)I am a lifelong dog lover and I learned a long time ago don't trust someone who doesn't like animals.
I feel like my entire body is heaving this huge sigh of relief knowing this good man is going to end this national nightmare we've been living through.
