Vice President-elect Joe Biden recently missed a key opportunity to set an example to Americans wanting a new dog, when he purchased his new (and, we have to admit, very cute) 3-month-old male German shepherd from a suburban Philadelphia breeder instead of adopting one of the millions of pure bred animals awaiting adoption in shelters across the country.
This move is sure to spark even greater calls by concerned citizens and the animal welfare community for President-elect Obama to send a message of compassion by adopting a shelter or rescue pup for his girls when they move into the White House next year.

Mr. Biden did at least ensure that he had the breeder checked out personally by the man who will train the puppy - Mark Tobin, who coordinates the K-9 division for police in Biden's home county of New Castle, Del.
