for selling a pedigreed pup to the Bidens.

The Bidens named their puppy Champ.
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.
I support PETA.
