It has been more than two months since Vice President Joe Biden left the White House, but on Wednesday, the lovable veep caused quite a stir outside the Capitol. On the steps of Capitol Hill, Biden met a puppy also named Biden, making for an impossibly cute photo opp. Regardless of your political leanings, the photos of Wednesday's Biden-filled encounter will give you all the feels.

According to The Huffington Post, the human Biden was on Capitol Hill to mark the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. The future of the Obama administration's signature healthcare policy doesn't look pretty, as Republicans have worked to dismantle the system since President Trump's inauguration. But as ugly as the fighting inside the Capitol may be, the greeting that former Vice President Biden received outside was entirely adorable.

As you'd expect, Biden the pup was reportedly named for Biden the veep. The cute puppy has more than 4,000 followers on Instagram, and by the looks of it, he leads a very presidential life, exploring all of D.C.'s political powerhouses and having his lifestyle chronicled for the public to see. (He's @bidenthegolden in case you were wondering.) Biden the Golden's latest adventure — meeting his namesake — appeared to go over pretty well.
