Abstract

The White House has two new four-legged occupants: Champ and Major Biden. The German shepherds are good for more than just a feel good story or photo op. They’ll offer special benefits to workers on the Hill. IWU Professor of Psychology Ellen Furlong discussed how the newly-minted first dogs will help President Biden and his staff navigate the stresses and tensions of the current political landscape with WGLT’s Dana Vollmer.
