He was a good boy.
On Saturday, President Biden announced on Twitter that his family’s beloved dog, Champ, had passed away at 13 years old.
Biden isn’t the only one mourning. “Champ” quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, with people expressing their condolences and sadness over the pup’s death, who was the older brother to Major, the youngest Biden dog.
I’m sad for president Biden and family who lost their beloved Champ Rest In Peace champ. love to the Biden family.

Today I’m thinking about President Biden and Dr. Jill, how many times during the last 13 yrs, when their lives were on public display must they have turned to Champ for solace.
Pets are the world’s greatest antidepressants. The companions we can always count on to listen. 💖

Our daughters went to a ceremony years ago at VP’s house and met their dog Champ—and loved him. Bidens sent them home with this memento. Great dog Champ. RIP pic.twitter.com/lI7BkP2cd7
