They adopted Major in 2018 and acquired their first dog, Champ, after the 2008 election. The Bidens have said they will bring their dogs to the White House and also plan to have a cat.
At 78, Biden will be the oldest president when he takes office in January, but he frequently rejected questions about his age in the election campaign.
He published a medical report in December that revealed that he takes a statin to keep his cholesterol at healthy levels, but his doctor described him as “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to carry out the functions of the Presidency successfully.”
