Dogs are returning to the White House.

Joe Biden ran on restoring tradition to the White House, and he is bringing back the time-honored tradition of presidential pets. Starting in January, the Biden family’s 2 German shepherds, Champ and Major, will roam the executive residence.

President Trump was the first president in more than a century not to have a pet of any kind, Andrew Hager, the historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, said. But from the country’s earliest days, pets have been a tradition for presidents. Theodore Roosevelt owned dozens of animals, including a one-legged rooster, snakes, guinea pigs, kangaroo rats and horses.

Here is a look at some of those presidential pups:
