Vice-presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz campaign with their dogs Atlas and Scout

Vice-presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz are accompanied by their dogs, Atlas and Scout, during their campaigns. Atlas, a German shepherd, is turning one on Election Day and has been a prominent presence at Vance's events. Scout, a five-year-old rescue dog, is a mix of Labrador, Boxer, and Chow Chow. Walz adopted Scout after promising to get a dog if he won the Minnesota governorship in 2018. Scout has become a symbol of pet adoption for Walz. Both dogs have gained media attention, with Atlas facing claims of being a "rent-a-dog." Vance humorously addressed these claims, while Walz highlights Scout's rescue story to promote adoption awareness.
