American presidential dogs … a long history that was cut with Trump for four years

With Joe Biden, American presidential dogs are back in the forefront after Donald Trump left the White House, the first president in 120 years who did not have dogs.
The spotlight is particularly focused on US President Joe Biden’s dog “Major”, in contrast to the other dog, “Champ”.

The dog “Major” twice attacked his teeth in a short time on two workers at the White House. Although the two victims in the two incidents did not suffer major damage, “Major” was widely recognized for this “ferocity.”

The US President, however, described Major, after an incident that bitten him to a White House security personnel, as a gentle dog, and that “85% of the people in the White House love him … all he does is he licks them and wiggles his tail.”

Biden announced that “Major” is now receiving some additional “training” to adapt to his new environment in the White House.

As for Donald Trump, who is described as the first American president in 120 years, he did not have dogs in the White House, he justified this in a statement in 2019 by saying that the idea of ​​having a dog seemed “fake” to him, noting also that he had no time to take care of them. .

A report suggests that the reason most world heads have dogs may be due to the greater responsibilities and increasing pressures they face.

As for the United States, presidential dogs in this country have a long history, and as former President Harry Truman puts it, if you “want to have a friend in Washington, get a dog.”

American Presidents’ dog breeding tradition goes back to the Founding Fathers, led by George Washington and John Adams.

It is noteworthy that the year 1999, was the establishment of an institution in the United States, the Presidential Museum of Animals.

And the American leaders themselves not only had typical pets such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, but some had horses, donkeys, little bears, tigers, eagles and white mice, found by Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States, under his bed.

Some heads also raised crocodiles, rats, chickens, roosters, lizards, snakes, sheep, geese, ducks, hyenas, antelopes and many other animals. Many of them were sent to zoos, while the most troublesome of them were transferred to specialized care institutions.

Despite this long history of American presidents’ animals in the White House, dogs are the most present, while Biden’s dog, Major, is now getting the most attention and fame because it has not been able to control its original “instincts” on two occasions so far. Record period as a difficult dog to fully domesticate.
