Malia and Sasha Obama apparently aren’t the only ones who were promised a puppy if they stuck it out through the presidential election.
Vice President-elect Joe Biden picked out a German shepherd pup last weekend from a breeder near his Delaware home, according to a local newspaper report.
Biden was reportedly promised the post-election dog by his wife, Jill, who would tape pictures of different dogs on the back of the seat in front of Biden on his campaign plane.
The vice president-elect picked out a month-old male German shepherd from a breeder in Chester County, Pa., according to the Daily Local News. The breeder told the paper Biden wanted a family dog that was social and obedient and said Biden’s granddaughters will name him.
The puppy will be delivered to the Bidens at the vice presidential residence after the Inauguration and after the breeder trains him, the paper reports.
What a handsome pup! Training for weeks? It's helpful for the “hoomans” to train their own too, to facilitate bonding with the hoomans owned by the dog. 😉 That's what my hoomans' vet said, anyway; I'm just a dog.
German Shepherds are a good breed. Say, Doxies have German heritage, too. Can you say, “play date!?”
Hope Obama gets a pooch from a rescue society or shelter. No word yet. Heard future 1st Lady wants one with a white coat. There are some breeds I could recommend, if asked. ALL dogs rule, though. Woof, woof!

With several millions dogs being killed yearly in shelters due to lack of homes, I really wish he had gotten a shelter dog instead. He could have set a great example of humans taking action on a problem we have caused.
Yes, I too wish they had gone the shelter route. Too bad…such a great opportunity.

That’s a lovely pup in his hands…love it.
Great…I love German Shepherds…
He’s a lucky pup, looks very mischievous. GSDs are really brilliant dogs both with kids an adults.
