Champ, on the other hand, isn’t entirely new to this game.

Champ and Major’s move-in day was actually Sunday, January 24—a few days after their humans took up residence. “The first family wanted to get settled before bringing the dogs down to Washington from Delaware,” the First Lady’s spokesperson, Michael LaRosa, told the Associated Press on Monday. “Champ is enjoying his new dog bed by the fireplace and Major loved running around on the South Lawn.” For more cute celeb puppies, check out Matthew McConaughey’s Family Just Adopted 2 Rescue Puppies in a Week.
