Biden's pet dog "Commander" is reportedly a German shepherd who has bitten at least 11 times to guards in the White House or Biden's home.
In November 2022, an officer was bitten on the arm and thigh by the dog and had to be hospitalized.
According to the BBC, the White House press secretary previously blamed the attacks on pet dogs "the stress of living in the White House".
Wacro, a former Secret Service agent, commented on the incident, "This is not the responsibility of the Secret Service, but a workplace safety issue." ”
Wacro also said the dog had threatened the safety of White House agents on duty: "The White House is a unique place, not only the residence of the President of the United States, but also the workplace of hundreds of people, you can't put their workplace at risk." ”
According to the report, the "commander" is not Biden's first pet dog that regularly attacks staff. Previously, a dog named "Major" also bit staff members multiple times and was eventually transferred out of the White House in 2021.
