The puppy is awful cute, but I wish the Bidens had gotten a puppy from a shelter. Going to a breeder means one more dog at a shelter will be put down today. Thanks, Joe.

I realize every family has different wants and needs in a pet, and perhaps it’s easiest to meet those needs by going to a breeder. But he’s the Veep; he’s got connections. If they wanted a well-tempered German shepherd puppy from a shelter, I’m sure they could’ve gotten one.

Oh, well. We could have a worse Veep-elect, a horrendously worse Veep-elect.
