Biden, riding deep with seven black Secret Service vehicles, rolled up to German Shepherd breeder Linda Brown’s home in Chester County, Penn. on Saturday and rolled out with a new, three-month-old pooch. It’s a male by the way.

Jill Biden promised her hubby that if he and his partner, Barack Obama, won the election they too would buy a dog. With two new pups, Obama’s and Biden’s, there will really be a lot of “scooping the poop” going on.

Apparently, Biden had Mark Tobin, coordinator of the New Castle County Police K-9 division scout Brown beforehand. Brown said Tobin called her up, came to her house to check her out, and told her she had “beautiful dogs.” And, that’s pretty much how it all began.

The four-legged addition to the Biden family will be delivered to Biden after the inauguration in January.

BTW, Obama has announced many times that he's adopting. It comes down to personal choice. And thank God we have choices.
  • Tracy Murphy Wednesday, Dec 17 at 6:03 PM FLAG COMMENT First of all, Joe Biden will hold the 2nd highest office in the country, therefore, he serves as an example for all people throughout our great country in leadership and integrity. Fact. The purchase of a dog from a commercial kennel sends a message to the American public that it is ok to continue to purchase dogs rather than adopt one of the thousands that need homes across America. The purchase of a dog from a commerci ... MORE >
