(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden's dogs have been on a biting spree, and now an investigation is under way.
The House Education and the Workforce Committee has launched an investigation into the Occupational Safety and Health Administration raising the question: Is Biden's dog getting special treatment while White House staff fear getting bitten?
Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., sent a letter to the Department of Labor acting head Julie Su Monday, a follow-up to a previous letter on the same issue.
"Recently, news reports say the number of known dog-bite incidents involving the President's dog Commander and Secret Service employees has risen to 24," the letter said. "In light of this new information, the Committee stresses that it is still concerned about the occupational safety and health program for all employees working at the White House and the Executive Office of the President (EOP)."
Secret Service members are reportedly suffering the brunt of the dog bites, with at least one having to get six stitches. CNN reports the number is actually much higher than 24 and that Secret Service has had to change the way it operates to work around the dogs.
Biden's other dog, Major, has reportedly had the same issue though not to the same extent.
The group Judicial Watch released 269 pages of Secret Service records last month on the issue obtained from Freedom of Information Act requests.
"After one incident, East Wing public tours were stopped for approximately 20 minutes due to the blood on the floor from the attack in the area of the 'Booksellers,'" the group said in its release. "A January 28, 2023, email chain discusses three biting incidents, '2 incidents today and one yesterday.' Later that day, a Presidential Protection Division official whose name is redacted emails Senior White House Advisor Anthony Bernal that 'Commander bit one of the Navy Staff' who worked at Camp David."
Foxx's letter raises questions about whether the White House is getting a pass on federal reporting requirements for these kinds of incidents.
The White House press team did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication.
"As I stated in my prior letters, the White House should not embrace an attitude of 'rules for thee, but not for me' when it comes to workplace safety," the letter said. "The EOP's own Congressional Budget Submission for Fiscal Year 2024 estimates that the EOP is comprised of just over 2,000 full-time equivalent employees. It is surprising that DOL has no data to share from the EOP in response to the Committee's questions, given the number of EOP staff.
"The Committee has an interest in ensuring that the White House is providing the same protections to its workforce that it demands of the private sector. Furthermore, the Committee has an interest in ensuring that DOL has accurate data on the EOP and the White House."
If that’s an actual picture of the dog, looks like an Australian Male mute (sp?). These dogs are now being used as Police dogs in the K9 units and their breed is not public friendly. My son is a policeman and has two that we are now babysitting and they’re not friendly dogs and will bite.
The odds of having two dogs who bite secret service men - but NEVER Biden’s family and friends is - ZERO.
These are trained dogs. And President Sniffer had the code phrase. IMHO
My guess is that he is kicking his dog in anger.
My neighbor had two. I was glad when they died of old age.................
Yes, I agree. That SOB is siccing the dogs on SS he doesn’t like. Bet he laughs about it, too. Sick SOB. FJB.
SS1
I wondered if the dogs included Harris, Levine, ButtGig, Jill et al...
Any herding breed is prone to snappiness.
Note that WH dogs are male only; females wouldn’t tolerate the vegetable sniffing them.
Dog’s names don’t seem appropriate for So Joe. Traitor and Grifter sound like a better match!
He got the dogs for PR purposes to look like a family man for election purposes. Actually he is a “family man”. In a special way.
Which time?
In dog behavior/language, there must be an alpha in the pack.
If no alpha behavior is demonstrated by humans, a dog assumes that role automatically.
These two dogs probably have not had an alpha present, except maybe the k9 handler.
It’s why lapdogs bite...they’re the alpha, regardless of how small in size they might be.
If your dog drags YOU by the leash, nearly dislocating for shoulder, you’re the beta and the dog is alpha.
More evidence that Obiden is a beta male.
...that is all
“Biden’s dog biting spree.”
In other words, the dog-biting spree of Biden.
I believe Major, who was elderly, went to live with another family member. It wasn’t long after that when FJB got Commander as a puppy.
Dogs, being pack animals, will protect the pack.
If you are not a member of the pack, you are an enemy................
Animals reflect their owners. My dear old departed Canadian mare, Jessamine just loved her dad. She would do for me. On the other hand, she bit my ex on her ass. Smart horse, that old girl.
My cousin had a horse you dared not turn your back on.
He would bite you on your shoulder and then laugh!.....The horse, not my cousin.................
