Biden Defends Major As 'A Sweet Dog' Just In Need Of Some Training
NPR ^ | March 17, 2021 | BRIAN NAYLOR

Posted on 03/17/2021 8:21:56 AM PDT by SJackson

President Biden came to the defense of his German shepherd rescue dog Major after he caused what the President described as "a minor incident" last week at the White House.

Biden said Major, one of his two German shepherds, was just startled in his new home when he caused what the White House called a "minor injury" to someone last week.

"You turn a corner, and there's two people you don't know at all," Biden said in an interview with ABC's Good Morning America. "And he moves to protect. But he's a sweet dog. Eighty-five percent of the people there love him. He just — all he does is lick them and wag his tail."

"Major did not bite someone and penetrate the skin," he said.

...snop...

After the incident, the dogs were sent back to Biden's Delaware home, because the President said he and first lady Jill were on the road, away from the White House. But Biden said that in the meantime, Major is undergoing some remedial training.

It would’ve been better if the swore the dog in as president.

At least the dog knows what he is doing.

Has it ever been announced if the person bitten was an amish teen?

I'll say a nice thing about Biden, he seems to like his dogs. My wife would agree that shepherds are the sweetest most loving breed. Not looking for arguments, but I don't disagree. But they need to be trained from day 1. Nice picture of Joe, but he needs to understand they're working dogs, and while he's enjoying a stroll they are working, protecting him. Like the secret service. He moves to protect, of course he does Joe, that's his job. My dogs walk several miles a day, are off leash trained, and whether in an urban environment or in the woods, are always on a lead. If the dogs return to the White House, I hope Jill will buy Joe a lead.

I’d trust the dog.

This is how pitbull owners feel too. They can be very loyal animals to their owners and inside a home, so they can’t believe it when they get off the leash and certain instincts take over.

Major just needs to learn to cower in place and not question authority.

Hmmmm 85%? Probably the 85% that don't have to worry about being bit by the dog! How fitting though that the President and his dog are both predators that attack people.

IN fairness to the dog, Joe apparently tried to molest it in the shower or something.

Naked with a dog in the shower, regardless.

It would also be better because we could then have honest and open discussions about certain, uh, frowned upon behavior by POTUS.

I have a dollar that says the bitten SS agent was removed from their position, and no longer working at the Whitehouse. Perhaps now working in the Yukon.

Obviously the guy on the far left. Better looking too.

99% chance that the dog attacked a liberofascist.

Good dog. Leave him be.
