President Obama had to deal with a small domestic crisis at the White House -- a family friend was bitten by Sunny, the First Family's 4-year-old dog.
We're told the incident occurred Monday when the 18-year-old was visiting the White House. Sources connected to the girl tell us she went to pet and kiss Sunny, and the dog bit her on the face.
Sunny -- a female Portuguese Water Dog -- left a nasty gash under the girl's eye. We're told the Obamas' family physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, checked her out and decided she needed stitches.

Sunny is a Republican?
Ted Kennedy’s revenge (didn’t he convince Obama to get this dog - or maybe he presented him with it)?
I had kind of flashed to that idea when I realized she went there to be with Obama and others.
It’s a day she won’t forget.
“the 18-year-old was visiting”
I bet Bubba misses his days in the WH.
Of course she was bitten. She was an idiot for putting her face near the dog’s face.
She probably was acting stupidly around the dog.
Yep, offer them the back of your hand at a slight distance and let the dog approach and sniff. Never move in toward their face. Instinctually they consider it a form of aggression, even if that’s not the intent.
Thank God she has affordable health care
Forcing yourself upon a dog you don’t know is asking for it. Some are good sports and play along. Some aren’t. Always approach an unfamiliar dog cautiously. Remember, they don’t know you, either. Extend your hand slowly, let them sniff it. Watch their body language. You’ll know whether or not they welcome your attention.
I was gonna say “The Russians hacked the dog!”
Sunny knows his doggie butt has to get out of the White House!
Yes you are correct, dogs feel very threatened when a human gets down in their face. My vet said that is the main reason that children are attacked by dogs. It is because their faces are down on the dogs level and it upsets them.
The dog’s name wasn’t Chet by any chance was it?
Teddy did give him a dog, but this one is 4 years old. I think Teddy was already room temperature by then. Must be a different dog.
IF your dog felt under threat she would have two reactions, flight or fight. So it is best to never assume your do would never bite. She might have very good reason to. Also if you watch dogs play they often nip and bite at each other especially around the mouth. What is just friendly dog play can become a serious bite if the dog thinks it is o.k. to play that way with a person. Which they will if the person initiates that play first. Which this girl did.
Cant he’s still occupying the White Mosque.
I can’t blame the dog for trying to get away as fast as possible....

Dumb shit!
Her parents never taught her how to behave around strange dogs.
Bet this young lady is a snowflake type that has bought into the leftard line that animals are people wearing fur coats.
If this girl was stranger to the dog and they allowed her to get in the dogs face means those people are not even responsible enough to own a dog. WOW!
