Biden's Puppy Purchase Results in Living Hell for Woman Who Sold Him the Dog

Way to leave the lady hanging Joe. What's up with this administration and dogs?

Fifteen minutes of fame turned into four months of bitter remorse for the Chester County woman who sold the Bidens their adorable little German shepherd puppy.

Linda Brown's been investigated, scorned and had her life threatened.

"I thought when Joe Biden bought a puppy from me, what an honor," Brown told the Daily Local News. "Out of millions of breeders in the country, in the world, he picked me."

That was December.

When the story got out, Brown faced backlash from pet lovers who thought the Bidens should have opted for a shelter over a breeder to find their new puppy.

PETA seized the moment as an opportunity to blame the killing of shelter animals on people who buy from breeders. The organization's TV commercial, "Buy One, Get One Killed" ran in Delaware after the Biden puppy story made headlines.

Dog wardens from the state showed up at Brown's Wolf Den kennel, repeatedly, for inspections.

"I was cited for a piece of kibble on the floor and five strands of dog hair. They took a picture of that, they walked around, snapped pictures and don't tell you why," Brown told the newspaper.

She was found "not guilty" for each citation, but hiring a lawyer for the court hearings has cost her $4,000 so far in legal fees.

Her advice to breeders who've called about the Obama's puppy search: Don't do it!

Speaking of Obama and rescuing dogs from shelters.

President Barack Obama's gift of a dog to his two daughters has angered animal welfare activists who argued that he broke a promise to adopt a dog from a shelter.

Bo, the six-month-old black and white Portuguese water dog who was a gift from Senator Edward Kennedy, was due to have his official unveiling at the White House last night.

Though he was given up by his first owners, the puppy spent no time in a rescue shelter and instead was treated to a month with the senator's dog trainer before being handed over to the White House.

Dr Jana Kohl, author of Rare Breed of Love, said: "This will fuel the breeding industry which will fuel the puppy mill industry, which will increase homeless dogs at shelters."

"To add insult to injury, during these tough economic times it is incredibly insensitive and elitist of them to do this," she added.

"People are tearfully turning in their pets to shelters because they can't afford them anymore. How can they be so out of touch?".
