President-elect Joe Biden fractured his foot while playing with one of his dogs — and will need to wear a walking boot for several weeks as a result, his doctor said Sunday.
The 78-year-old Democrat slipped while playing with his German Shepherd, Major, on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Delaware for an examination on Sunday afternoon.
While initial X-rays showed "no obvious fracture," a subsequent CT scan "confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden's lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot," according to a statement from his doctor Kevin O'Connor.
The president-elect could be seen limping as he left the doctor's office to head to an imaging center for the CT scan, though he walked without a crutch or other help."It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks," O'Connor said.Biden and his wife, Jill Biden,
adopted Major from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018.
The pooch is set to make history as the first rescue dog in the White House.
He's one of the couple's two German shepherds, along with Champ, who they've had since 2008.
The Bidens are also reportedly
planning on acquiring a cat to join them in the People's House after Inauguration Day in January.

Joe Biden on Sunday afternoon went to visit an orthopedist: "out of an abundance of caution, he will be examined by a doctor."
Biden's team was blocking reporters and wouldn't allow them to see Biden go in or leave the Orthopedist's office. Repeated requests were denied.
In fact, a press van was maneuvered so that reporters and photogs couldn't see Biden as he entered the building.
But one photog captured feeble Biden as he hobbled out of the orthopedic office.
Joe Biden's doctor said "there is no obvious fracture and he will be getting an additional CT for more detailed imaging."
