“He is beautiful!!! So grateful to have a compassionate, caring, down to earth, "normal" President back in office. Thank you for all of your efforts,” wrote one user, with another adding “thank you for sharing and for all that you are.”
Born in September of 2021, Commander was adopted by the Biden’s in December after their dog Champ died six months earlier in June. They also endured a sad goodbye to their other German Shepherd, Major, who was sent to live with family friends after he failed to adjust to life in the White House.
But it seems that Commander is having no such problems. In a recent Instagram post captioned “Commander settled right in at the White House. It helps that he thinks he runs the place,” a beaming President Biden is seated next to an equally happy Commander.
From what we can see, it looks like this wonderful dog really is living his best life and we can't wait to see more of his adorable antics!
