Biden Chooses LA's 3rd Favorite Breed, What will Obama Pick?
Vice President-Elect Joe Biden has a new puppy.
Look at it. So. Adorable.
The German Shepherd, which came directly from a breeder, remains nameless at the moment, but if Biden follows in our footsteps, he'll name the pup Lucky, which is the most popular name for the third most popular breed in Los Angeles County, according to the LA Times' "L.A.'s Top Dogs" database.
With 51,782 registered German Shepherds in the county, the largest concentration of them reside in Palmdale and Lancaster of Antelope Valley.
President-Elect Barack Obama has yet to choose what kind of dog he will bring to the White House, but he will have to soon, as promised to his daughters.
