President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill have officially welcomed a brand new member to their White House family — a positively perfect German Shepard puppy they’ve dubbed “Commander.”
The President took to the official POTUS Twitter account with a short, sweet introduction for the pup, complete with a photo of the little guy having a hay day with a tennis ball.
Seriously, it doesn’t get any cuter than this:

The Biden family’s newest addition comes just 6 months or so after they lost their longtime companion, one of their two German Shepards, Champ. Back in June, the President and First Lady released a joint statement announcing the loss of their 13-year-old puppy pal.

” Our hearts are heavy today,” the First Couple said, adding that their dog had died at their home.
As their hearts continue to heal from the loss of their longtime best friend, Champ, we can only imagine how much joy and fun this little man is already bringing to the First Family and the White House as a whole.
But, wouldn’t you know, the Conservative crowd can’t even let the Biden’s enjoy their new dog without being absolutely atrocious human beings.
The majority of the responses to Commander’s introduction are heart-warming and kind:
