US President Joe Biden’s German shepherd has reportedly bitten Secret Service officers at least 10 times and hospitalized an officer.
According to the information obtained by Judicial Watch from the Department of Homeland Security within the framework of the information law and shared with the public, it was revealed that Biden’s German shepherd named “Commander” attacked different Secret Service personnel in the White House and in Delaware, where the President’s home is located.
Arriving at the White House in 2021, the 22-month-old Commander attacked Secret Service agents at least 10 times from October 2022 to January 2023.
It was shared that some of Biden’s dog bites required medical attention, and that the officer who bitten him twice, one on his right upper arm and the other on his thigh, while on duty in November 2022, was hospitalized.
The White House reported that after the bite incidents, the Biden family are working on a new training for the dog.
Elizabeth Alexander, Biden’s wife, Jill Biden’s Director of Communications, pointed out that the White House complex is a “stressful environment for pets”, adding that the Biden family is looking for ways to make the situation better for everyone.
Secret Service Communications Chief Anthony Guglielmi said they take employee safety very seriously. (AA)
