Commander, the president’s dog, has bitten another Secret Service agent. It’s the 11th such instance during President Joe Biden’s time in the White House.
The Bidens are known to be dog lovers, bringing three German shepherds into the White House. One of the dogs, Major, was moved out of the presidential residence following biting incidents, and Commander has been causing problems since his arrival. According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act, Commander bit 10 Secret Service agents between September 2022 and January 2023, hospitalizing one. On Monday, the Secret Service revealed that the pet bit another agent — it’s the 11th known instance.

“Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex,” U.S. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told CNN in a statement.
The injuries don’t appear to be severe, and the agent is doing OK, he said.

In emails obtained by Judicial Watch, the frustrations of Secret Service agents were revealed. One remarked that the pet would have been put down if not the president’s dog.
Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for the first lady, said upon the revelation of the number of attacks from Commander that the first family has since been “partnering with the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff on additional leashing protocols and training, as well as establishing designated areas for Commander to run and exercise.”
