Major Biden gets 'Indoguration' party to support animal shelter

Major Biden, President-elect Joe Biden's German shepherd, warmed every beating heart when he became the first presidential pooch to be adopted from a shelter. Sob!

That means inauguration day is as big a deal for Major as it is for his owners, Joe and Jill: Along with older brother Champ, Major will be ascending to the highest canine office in the land, First Dog.

To celebrate, the shelter from which the Bidens adopted Major, the Delaware Humane Association, will be holding their own livestreamed inauguration event on January 17: Major Biden's Indoguration Party.

Peoplefirst reported the event, which the DHA describes as such:

Major Biden is undoubtedly a very good boy, but he's not above getting his paws dirty if it helps his dad and the nation. Major and Champ lent their talents to an October tweet in which Biden called out Trump for not having a pet.

With Biden's election finally certified by congress, hopefully similar politicking won't plague Major anymore. However, a Redditor did recently ask "the real question": "Was Major selected by the Electoral Collar? Or the Pupular Vote?"

Turns out, both! Happy Indoguration day, Major! The event takes place from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET, and you can RSVP here. Don't forget to donate!
