President Gerald R. Ford acquired Liberty, a Golden Retriever, as a puppy in the fall of 1974. She grew up in the White House and even gave birth to her first litter of puppies there.

What a wonderful story! I love that Major got a good home. And I bet he will love his new digs!

It is uplifting and positive having animals whether it be in your house or the White House!  The German Shepherds are lovable and I am so glad they are rescues.  Dogs are loyal, therapeutic, loving and provide companionship.  I have had dogs and cats as pets and love all animals.

Thanks for this post, a breath of fresh air!!!!

We had a rescue German Shepherd. She lived to be 15 yrs. I miss her so much. 

These new White House dogs are so sweet.

I wonder when we'll have a First Cat.  Soon, I hope!

They are both so beautiful! Love seeing dogs in the White House again. Major looks a lot like my Cody did❤

@spiderw   Agreed!!  I really don't know what I would have done without my animals this past year.

They truly were, and continue to be, a stabilizing force amongst all the horrible things going on.

Cuteness overload for sure!  Beautiful dogs!  I heard that Jill Biden also wanted to get a cat.  That would be pawsome!
