WASHINGTON — President Biden’s nearly two-year-old German shepherd Commander bit seven people in a four-month period after former first dog Major was ousted from the White House over similar aggressive behavior, according to internal Secret Service communications reviewed by The Post.
The shocking spate of incidents involving Commander — none of them previously known — mirror attacks involving Major, who the White House says was given to family friends after biting many Secret Service members in 2021.
In the most serious documented incident involving Commander, the White House physician’s office on Nov. 3, 2022, referred a bitten Secret Service uniformed officer to a local hospital for treatment after the dog clamped down on their arm and thigh, according to emails released under the Freedom of Information Act to conservative legal group Judicial Watch.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the dog bites — after facing criticism for non-transparency for covering up incidents involving former first dog Major.

Biden, 80, has reportedly expressed doubts about the honesty of a Secret Service member who reported being bitten on the leg by his prior dog Major, also a German shepherd, and the White House has not disclosed any biting incidents involving Commander, who often can be heard barking on the executive mansion’s grounds.
Behind the scenes, agents described alarming series of incidents.
The most serious incident on Nov. 3 began as a Secret Service officer was seated at the bottom of a stairwell at the White House.

The fellow Secret Service member wrote back: “What a joke… if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle.”

White House should have a dog trainer on staff. I think Trump was the only president without a Humanizing dog as a Photo-op. Pet.
They'll need two. That is a high energy breed so he would need to stay busy.
Well done!
Spot On.
There are people who have no business owning dogs. The Clintons are one and Bidens another. I wouldn’t trust either with a teacup Yorkie.
Thanks for the reminder about poor Buddy. He was a beautiful pup. Died too young at 4 years old.
Seriously, I wonder why their dogs in particular are so aggressive. It’s possible that something nafarious is going on. What do they do to their dogs?
I wonder if the dogs went around sniffing little girls? Something else learned from creepy Joe.
