Joe Biden’s dog bites another secret service agent
Quick Read
The Bidens' other German Shepherd, Major, also bit Secret Service, White House staff and a National Park Service employee shortly after the president took office.
US President Joe Biden’s two-year-old German shepherd, Commander, has bitten another Secret Service agent in what is the dog’s 11th known attack.
Commander bit the officer Monday evening at the White House, according to a statement from the Secret Service.
“Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten,” USSS chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said.
“The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex.”
Guglielmi added that Secret Service spoke Tuesday with the injured agent, who said she was doing fine.
The Bidens’ other German Shepherd, Major, also bit Secret Service, White House staff and a National Park Service employee shortly after the president took office.
Despite training and time for “Major to adjust to his new surroundings,” according to the White House, he was sent back to Delaware to live with friends.
Commander arrived at the White House as a gift from family in December 2021, after Major moved out.
The Bidens’ other German Shepherd Champ — who passed away six months earlier at the age of 13 — was not involved in any biting incidents.
According to Judicial Watch, Secret service records reveal 10 attacks — before Monday’s incident — by Commander over a four-month period between October 2022 and January.
Judicial Watch forced the release of the records through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, regarding “incidents of aggression and bites involving the Biden family dog, Commander.”
