Wonder is part American Foxhound, part American Staffordshire Terrier, and a cancer survivor. She garnered the president's attention during Wednesday night's town hall at Mount Saint Joseph University in suburban Cincinnati, making for a cute cameo on national television.
After the town hall, Wonder was stepped on as the crowd departed, resulting in a trip to the veterinarian to repair ripped stitches. But thatdidn't dim Lippi's happiness at Wonder's moment to shine. After all, she said, Wonder deserves it.
Biden spotted Wonder at Lippi's feet even before CNN moderator Don Lemon called on her.
"You've got a great dog there, kid," Biden told her.
Wonder was dressed for the occasion in her 4th of July collar, which is red, white and blue.
