The Biden family announced on Saturday that Champ, their “beloved German Shepherd“, who had been with the family since 2008. Passed away.
Champ died and said goodbye at the Biden family home in Wilmington, Delaware, a White House official said.

“In his youth, he was more than happy chasing golf balls on the lawn of the Naval Observatory or running to chase our grandchildren as they ran around our backyard in Delaware.”
Champ arrived during the December 2008 presidential transition to the Biden family, weeks after Biden became vice president-elect.
Champ, the Biden’s said Saturday, was with the family during its “happiest moments” and “painful days.”
In recent months, Champ’s health, due to his advanced age, had deteriorated.

During the 2008 vacations, Biden’s grandchildren named the new puppy Champ, an homage to the nickname Joe Biden’s father gave his son, according to Biden’s Press Sectarin.
