Hot off the press--Joe Biden is taking some flack for his selection of a purebred German Shepherd. As he told George Stephanopolis on Sunday, he heard from a lot of animal rescue organizations that were not thrilled with him going the "purebred" route.
Well, it seems that to make everybody happy, the Bidens are going to get ANOTHER dog--this second one a rescue, and ideally a Golden Retriever. The second dog will be Jill's; the shepherd will be Joe's. We also learned that in his youth, Biden actually showed German Shepherds and has always been partial to the breed.
Two dogs are certainly better than one--as far as the dogs are concerned--and it sounds like a good pairing, akin to my Collie/Golden Retriever brood. The Shepherd, like the Collie, will assume the role of protector and defender (and probably do a little herding of the new puppy), and the Golden will just be thrilled to have someone to play with.
And I don't think the Bidens will have any trouble finding reliable pet sitters when they are on the road...
Sounds like everyone should be happy. Talk about being a politician....
