Major Makes History: From the Shelter to the White House

Emmy-winning

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.
