Joe Biden‘s dogs are ‘serial biters’ in the White House. Commander and Major, the dogs owned by US President Joe Biden, are said to have bit many Secret Service agents both inside the White House and at his house in Delaware, which has made the agents nervous about their safety.
The commander bit people ten times, according to correspondence that Judicial Watch was able to get. One of the victims was hospitalized for treatment in November 2022.
In 2021, Commander visited the White House with emails claiming that Biden’s pet was let loose.

As Joe Biden’s dogs are ‘serial biters’ in the White House, in one of the incidents, First Lady Jill Biden “couldn’t regain control of the dog as it attacked a member of Secret Service staff.”
“I believe it’s only a matter of time before an agent/officer is attacked or bit,” a staff member wrote in an email.
Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for the first lady, said: “The White House complex is a unique and often stressful environment for family pets, and the First Family is working through ways to make this situation better for everyone.”
“They have 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,” she stated.
She added: “According to the Secret Service, each incident referenced was treated similarly to comparable workplace injuries, with relevant notifications and reporting procedures followed. 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.”
Anthony Guglielmi, USSS chief of communications, said: “The US Secret Service is aware of incidents with the first family’s pets.”
“For the past several presidential administrations, the Secret Service has navigated how to best operate around family pets and these incidents are no exception.”

“We take the safety and wellbeing of our employees extremely seriously,” Guglielmi said, adding that “employees are encouraged to report any job-related injuries.”
Guglielmi said: “Secret Service special agents and officers neither care for nor handle the first family’s pets but continuously work with all applicable entities to minimize adverse impacts in an environment that includes pets.”
