Awwwww.
After gathering the whole family around the Christmas tree this morning, Vice President-elect Joe Biden's grandchildren announced the name of his new German shepherd puppy.
They chose to call the new pup "Champ," Biden's press secretary, Elizabeth Alexander said Thursday.
The name has sentimental significance for Biden, whose dad always told him growing up, "Get up champ," whenever he was having a tough time. Biden often mentioned it in his campaign speeches, where he would recall his father saying "Any time you get knocked down champ - get up!"
