  The Bidens also said that even if the'champion' is weakened in the final months of life, when they enter a room, it will immediately cheer up.

"Its tail is always wagging, rubbing our nose with us to make us tickle him. No matter where we are, it wants to go together, when it is by our side, everything becomes better immediately."

  They recalled: “It’s favorite thing is to curl up in front of the fire at our feet at the end of the day, join us when we have a meeting, or sunbathe in the White House garden. When it was young, the happiest thing was Chase golf on the lawn in front of the Naval Observatory, or play with our grandchildren in our backyard in Delaware."

  The Bidens said that the "champions" experienced "the happiest moments" and "the saddest days" with them.

They love it and will miss it forever.

  "Champion" is one of the two German Shepherds kept by the Bidens in the White House.

Biden owned it when he was elected Vice President of the Obama Administration in 2008.
