The German shepherd bit Secret Service agents and White House staffers. The Bidens previously removed another dog, Major, after biting incidents.
President Biden’s two-year-old dog, Commander, has been removed from the White House after the German shepherd bit staffers and Secret Service officers, the White House said.
“The President and First Lady care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House and those who protect them every day,” the first lady’s communications director, Elizabeth Alexander, said in a statement.“Commander is not presently on the White House campus while next steps are evaluated,” Alexander added, without specifying where the dog was sent.
Commander’s removal follows a number of biting episodes since he was brought to the White House as a puppy in 2021, the most recent of which occurred last week, when the dogafter Commander, unprovoked, bit their arm and thigh, according to emails and records obtained by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
