Major Makes History: From the Shelter to the White House

by Jill Twiss Author and Maribel Lechuga Illustrator

This picture book tells the story of President Biden’s friendship with his German shepherd, Major, the first shelter dog in the White House. Told from Major’s perspective, the book includes humor, heart, and information on adopting shelter animals. In 2018, President Biden adopted Major from the Delaware Humane Association. Their bond was instantaneous, and Major found a loving home in the White House. The book recounts their journey and Major’s role as a first dog, from defending the President from vacuum cleaners to helping him become a better person. Educational, entertaining, and adorable, the book celebrates the unique bond between a president and his shelter dog.
