Bidens welcome new first pup to White House

The Biden family has welcomed a new puppy, Commander, to the White House, President Joe Biden announced on Twitter Monday.

The president has a new puppy at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -- just in time for Christmas.

The Biden family has welcomed a new German Shepherd, "Commander," the president announced in a tweet on Monday.

"Welcome to the White House, Commander," Biden tweeted.

Commander, a purebred German Shepherd, was gifted to Biden by his brother James and his sister-in-law for his birthday, and will also be joined by the long-awaited Biden family cat in January.
