Guess who got a puppy!
Sorry, no. Not the Obamas. It was Vice President-elect Joe Biden, who picked out a German Shepherd puppy from a breeder in Chester County, Pa., last weekend.
The story was first reported by the Local Daily News in West Chester. Biden's wife Jill had promised her husband he could have a new puppy if he and Barack Obama won the election. She even taped photos of various dog breeds on Biden's campaign plane.
The Bidens won't take delivery of the new dog until after the inauguration next month -- and after he's undergone some training by the breeder. Biden's granddaughters will pick a name.
OK, now it's the President-elect's turn.

Joe Biden is a good guy and the perfect pop for a new pup. Glad to hear our new President and V.P. are pet lovers.

I wish they would have adopted a dog. I agree that it's good to hear that he is also a pet lover. Speaking of pets, I found this cool site today, http://www.petcentric.com/crittercarols/?DCMP=RAC-PETC-DogTm-Carol08&HQS=Blog, and used it to send my holiday greeting cards to all my friends. They all love it! Dogs singing Christmas carols! LOL!

I think a German Shepherd would have been a good pick for Obama. A Belgian Shepherd would be a good fit, too.

Congratulations to Joe Biden! A pet lover rates high in my estimation.
