With President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration just two days away, major 'pawlicy' changes were underway as the Delaware Humane Association, on Sunday (local time), held an 'indoguration' for First Dog-elect Major Biden.

Major, a German Shephard, who was adopted by the Bidens in 2018 from the Delaware Humane Associaton would become the first dog from a shelter to live at the White House. Champ, Biden's second dog who is also a German Shepherd has been a member of the Biden family since 2008.

Biden's inauguration on January 20 would be the first time in four years that the White House would have dogs.

Singer Josh Groban closed the ceremony with the rewrite of (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window" by Patti Page, changing the lyrics to "I'm adopting that doggie in the window."

According to Entertainment Weekly, the 39-year-old singer-songwriter landed the gig after pleading to the former shelter dog's dad, who is to be inaugurated himself on January 20 as the 46th President of the United States.

The event was hosted by 'Today's' Jill Martin. The proceeds of this virtual event will be benefitting shelter animals like Major.
