Proud new pappy! Former Vice President Joe Biden adopts new dog

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Former Vice President Joe Biden has a new four-legged family member.

The Delaware Humane Association said Saturday that Biden and his wife, Jill, have adopted a 10-month-old German Shepherd named Major.

Director of Animal Care Kerry Bruni said the Bidens had been providing foster care for the dog in their home for several months and were ready to make the adoption official.

Bruni said the former vice president reached out to see if he could help after the association posted on social media earlier this year that it had received a litter of sick German Shepherd puppies.

That photo is priceless, especially the expression on the pup's face! And we've always known that Joe Biden was one of the good guys, this is just one more of so many examples!
