"Willow made quite an impression on Dr. Biden in 2020 when she jumped up on the stage and interrupted her remarks during a campaign stop. Seeing their immediate bond, the owner of the farm knew that Willow belonged with Dr. Biden," Michael LaRosa, the first lady's spokesman, said in a news release.

Last month, the Bidens welcomed Commander, a 4-month-old purebred German shepherd puppy. In June, the Bidens' eldest dog, Champ, died. Meanwhile, Major, whom they adopted from an animal shelter in 2018, was rehomed after struggling to adapt to the busy White House environment.

    Commander, a 4-month-old purebred German shepherd puppy

    Nothing wrong with German Shepherds, but this screams "see we Democrats like our tough macho dogs with our tough military names! God bless the troops! None of that gay ass shit like a mini poodle here!"

      Why do they need to specify it's a purebred? Is there a breed purity requirement for presidential dogs?

    I want Major Biden and Bailey Warren to team up and take down the political establishment with Willow as their inside agent.

    This cat jumped on a stage two years ago so the Biden’s stole the cat because the media loves a callback.
