蔡英文悼念拜登死去的狗
近日，美国总统拜登发布声明称，他们家心爱的狗狗——德国牧羊犬“冠军”（Champ）去世。随后引发广泛关注，其中便包括蔡英文。
网民们批评蔡英文无视因疫情逝世的台湾民众，却跑去哀悼美国总统的狗。“你会为那些因为你的失职而死去的台湾人感到难过吗？”
昨天晚上，演员向佐在微博发文，点名抨击蔡英文：“人家只狗死去跟你有什么关系，而且你觉得人家会在意吗，有理会过你吗？这是没有得再正式的舔狗！！！”

Bidens Announce Death of 'First Dog' Champ
Reuters
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Saturday announced the passing of their German shepherd Champ, who they called a "constant, cherished companion" for 13 years.
"In our most joyful moments and in our most grief-stricken days, he was there with us, sensitive to our every unspoken feeling and emotion. We love our sweet, good boy and will miss him always," the Bidens said in a statement.
Champ was one of two German shepherds living at the White House with the president and first lady. Biden got Champ in 2008, the year he was elected vice president under President Barack Obama.
Champ lived alongside Major, who the Bidens adopted in November 2018 and became the first rescue dog to live in the White House. Major had to be briefly removed from the premises after two incidents of nipping staff on White House grounds.
Major returned to the White House in April after being sent to an off-site training so he could adjust to life in the White House.
The arrival of Champ and Major marked the return of pets to the White House after a four-year hiatus under former President Donald Trump, who was the first president since Andrew Johnson in the 1860s not to share the presidential digs with a dog or a cat.
Champ lived with the Bidens when the current president served as vice president and spent his days, "chasing golf balls on the front lawn of the Naval Observatory."
"Even as Champ's strength waned in his last months, when we came into a room, he would immediately pull himself up, his tail always wagging, and nuzzle us for an ear scratch or a belly rub," the statement said.
The Bidens also have addressed the idea of getting a cat. "She is waiting in the wings," Jill Biden said in April.

Statement by the President and the First Lady on the Passing of their Beloved German Shepherd, Champ
Our hearts are heavy today as we let you all know that our beloved German Shepherd, Champ, passed away peacefully at home. He was our constant, cherished companion during the last 13 years and was adored by the entire Biden family. Even as Champ’s strength waned in his last months, when we came into a room, he would immediately pull himself up, his tail always wagging, and nuzzle us for an ear scratch or a belly rub. Wherever we were, he wanted to be, and everything was instantly better when he was next to us. He loved nothing more than curling up at our feet in front of a fire at the end of the day, joining us as a comforting presence in meetings, or sunning himself in the White House garden. In his younger days, he was happiest chasing golf balls on the front lawn of the Naval Observatory or racing to catch our grandchildren as they ran around our backyard in Delaware. In our most joyful moments and in our most grief-stricken days, he was there with us, sensitive to our every unspoken feeling and emotion. We love our sweet, good boy and will miss him always.
