Biden's dog Commander involved in 11th reported biting incident in past year
The two-year-old German shepherd bit a Secret Service officer who was working at the White House on Monday night, a U.S. Secret Service spokesman said.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden's dog Commander was involved in another biting incident this week, a Secret Service spokesman said.
Commander, a 2-year-old German shepherd, bit a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer who was working at the White House on Monday night, the spokesman said, adding that the female officer was treated by the White House Medical Office.
The bite appears to be the 11th reported nipping incident involving Commander since October.
"As we’ve noted before, the White House can be a stressful environment for family pets, and the First Family continues to work on ways to help Commander handle the often unpredictable nature of the White House grounds," Elizabeth Alexander, a spokesperson for first lady Jill Biden, said in a statement Tuesday.
"The President and First Lady are incredibly grateful to the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff for all they do to keep them, their family, and the country safe," she added.
