Snopes Snuggles Biden: It's 'True' His Rescue Dog Gets an 'Indoguration' Party! #Political
The incoming extra-plush treatment of Joe Biden by the “independent fact checkers” might be signaled by this Friday fact check at Snopes.com:
Will Biden’s Dog Get an ‘Indoguration’ Party?
Major Biden’s former shelter is celebrating the "first dog" with a virtual party.
Claim:
The Delaware Humane Association dog shelter is celebrating Major’s ascension to first dog ahead of U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration with a virtual “Indoguration” party and fundraiser on Jan. 17, 2021.
Rating: True
Snopes reporter Nur Ibrahim -- a veteran of Al-Jazeera and the failed Jordan Klepper show at Comedy Central who graduated from Harvard in 2013 -- babbled over the Happy News:
As U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021, another future White House occupant will get his own ceremony. Major, the Biden family’s German shepherd and the first White House dog to be adopted from a shelter, will be celebrated at an “indoguration.”
Hosted by Major’s former shelter, the Delaware Humane Association (DHA), the event is a virtual Zoom party that aims to raise funds for the shelter so it can take care of more dogs.
Then get a load of this brief article's conclusion:
Major was brought to the DHA when he was just a puppy after he had been exposed to something “toxic” in his previous home, putting his health in danger. After being fostered by the Bidens, Major was officially adopted in 2018.
Given that Major is undoubtedly a very good boy, and the party being hosted in his honor was publicized by his former shelter, we rate this claim as “True.”
PS: There was one interesting little conflict of interest at this Biden doggie party -- Jill Martin, the "Steals and Deals" correspondent on NBC's Today -- is hosting the fundraiser:
