Dr. Biden told a reporter in September about her hopes to get a cat. “Well, I’d love to get a cat. I love having animals around the house,” she told Fox 5’s Angie Goff. The Clintons were the last family to have a cat in the White House.
While campaigning Biden said that he wanted to “bring dogs back to the White House.” And now he is going to!
Major will make history as the first rescue dog in the White House!
