Mr. Biden, who also has another German shepherd named Champ, has long been a dog owner. Bob Markel, a friend since childhood, said that around 50 years ago Mr. Biden told him that his two dogs at the time were named Governor and Senator.
“These were sizable dogs,” Mr. Markel recalled. “They were big, just like, apparently, the ones he’s got now, that he’s going to take to the White House.”
Former Representative Bob Brady of Pennsylvania, a longtime Biden ally, said that he “didn’t meet Major, but I met Champ,” describing the pet as “gorgeous.”
“He was probably throwing something around, it could be a toy,” he said, speculating on Mr. Biden’s injury. “I spoke with his guys. He’s fine, he’s fine.”
Mr. Biden campaigned on a message of national unity, and Mr. Brady, alluding to reports about future Biden pets, suggested that the president-elect might extend a hand to fans of felines, too.
“I heard he’s going to get a cat,” he said.
