The latest bite comes just two months after shocking Secret Service records revealed what an aggressive and violent nuisance the young pup has been.
Commander, a gift from Biden’s brother James Biden and sister-in-law Sara Biden, was welcomed the same day Major was given to family friends after Many of the Secret Service agents reported being attacked without provocation, with multiple desperately grabbing nearby objects such as chains and chairs to block the dog from inflicting further damage.
The 11 documented attacks are likely just the tip of the iceberg for the dog’s disturbing behavior — the internal correspondence didn’t include Commander’s first nine months at the White House or the last nine months of 2023.At the time, the White House blamed the incidents on what it called “a unique and often stressful environment for family pets” at the Executive Mansion.
Officials said in July that they were working on additional leashing protocols and training, as well as establishing designated areas for Commander to run and exercise, though it’s not clear how far those plans have progressed. “This isn’t a Secret Service thing. This is a this is a workplace safety issue,” former USSS agent Jonathan Wackrow told CNN.“There’s uniqueness here where it’s the residence of the president of the United States, but it’s also the workplace for hundreds, thousands of people. And you can’t bring a hazard into the workplace. And that’s what is essentially happening with this dog. One time you can say it’s an accident, but now multiple incidents, it’s a serious issue.
