Also on the Welcome Wagon: a fluffy golden retriever puppy named after the longtime politician.
Four-legged Biden got a photo op (and a face-lick) with his two-legged namesake after his owner, identified by NBC news as a Republican staffer, waited for the former VP's arrival on the Capitol steps on Wednesday morning.
"That is gratuitous puppy," said MSNBC host Hallie Jackson after the station concluded their report on the event with a cameo of the pup.
