Joe Biden is known for his love of a few things - aviator sunglasses, ice-cream, social healthcare for all people, and dogs.
Therefore, Joe Biden meeting a dog named after him is obviously going to be a big deal for him. The story of Biden seeing and meeting Dog Joe Biden, however, is even better. The former Vice President of the United States was attending a health care event in Washington, where Dog Joe Biden was there with his owner, Sydney.
As Sydney told Buzzfeed, Biden saw the dog during his speech and "he pointed at the dog, tapped his friend and then started like cracking up. Right towards the end, I, like, kind of signaled him, and he, like, gave me a wink to come over."
"As soon as I told him his name was Biden, he started kissing the dog, which is like exactly what I expected Biden would do," explained Sydney, who named the dog after Biden as he's her "favorite politician and favorite elected official."
Here's a few shots from Dog Biden's own Instagram, complete with the moment Joe Biden meet Dog Biden.
