New York Times bestselling author Jill
Twiss delivers the tale of President Biden's friendship
with Major, the first shelter dog in the White House. Written in the dog's
voice, it tells of the German shepherd's adjustment to the White House, and
his urgent calling in life--to support and care for the president. Hilarious and filled with heart, this story includes
back matter highlighting past presidential pets and information on adopting
shelter animals.
When President Joe Biden adopted his shelter dog Major from the
Delaware Humane Association in 2018, their bond was immediate. President Biden
rescued Major and provided him with a loving home. What he didn't know is that
Major would also rescue him too.
Major tells the captivating, funny story of how he and Joe first
met, and their journey to his brand-new home, the White House.
As a first dog, Major has a lot of work to do! It's not easy being
a presidential dog. Major defends President Biden from vicious vacuum cleaners,
helps in the garden by digging holes, and drinks afternoon tea from the toilet
bowl, along with his buddy Champ. But his most important job of all is helping
Joe become a better version of himself.
Educational, fun, and adorable, this is a heartwarming book about
the bond between a president and his very special shelter dog from the bestselling author of Everyone Gets a Say.
