Awwww! Joe Biden gets a new puppy
The Vice President-elect's grandchildren will pick out a name

Anyone who gets a German Shepherd gets points in my book, Biden's puppy looks like my Shepherds Jake and Maximus did when they were puppies. And the puppy will be getting good training too.

POTTSTOWN, Pa. - You could say the incoming Democratic administration is already going to the dogs.

Vice President-elect Joe Biden has picked out a 3-month-old male German shepherd from a suburban Philadelphia kennel to bring with him to Washington.

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 having chosen the nation's Second Dog.

Mark Tobin, who coordinates the K-9 division for police in Biden's home county of New Castle, Del., will do the training.

I wonder how much time Biden will actually spend with the dog.

Sounds like the dog is going to be a Photo-op dog to apease certain groups.

At least he didn't select a pussy or intends to train him to be one.

I had one I look forward to having around for years, unfortunately he had to be destroyed. First kill was a cat, then he went for donkeys and settled in on goats. It was a sad decision for me but a necessary part of the responsibility of owning that type of breed. It was the terrible twos I guess.

Happy Holidays though,
