Biden’s dog Commander bites another Secret Service agent

President Joe Biden’s dog commander has bitten another Secret Service agent, the 11th biting incident in the White House. The 2-year-old German shepherd bit a police officer on Monday evening.

“Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came into contact with a First Family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel at the complex,” USSS communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

The injured officer is doing well, the Secret Service said. The incident was first reported by CNN. Secret Service emails received by Judicial Watch in July showed the dog had bitten or threatened at least 10 people, making this the 11th biting incident involving the first pet.

One officer was sent to a local hospital after biting them on the arm and leg, and one was attacked when Jill Biden let him go. The officer also had to use a steel shield to ward him off from another attack. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed stress for the dog’s behavior.

“As you all know, the White House complex can be unique and very stressful. I’m sure you can all understand that,” Jean-Pierre said. “It’s unique and stressful for all of us. So you can imagine what it’s like for a pet or pets in a broader sense.’ She added that the first family was “looking for ways to make the situation better for everyone.”

At the time of the released emails in July, the White House said the Bidens were working on new training and leashing protocols for Commander, but did not specify what they were. Jill Biden’s office did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment on the latest incident. In the series of emails released in July, Secret Service agents called the dog “crazy crazy,” argued that he would be “beaten down” if he wasn’t one of the Bidens and said he needed a muzzle.

On November 10, 2022, Jill Biden ‘couldn’t regain control’ of Commander when dog attacked another Secret Service member. That same month, the German shepherd latched onto an officer’s arm, forcing him to seek medical treatment. The Bidens welcomed the commander as a puppy to the executive home in December 2021.
