Insiders have alleged that Commander, President Biden’s German shepherd dog, whose removal from the White House was recently announced due to aggressive behavior, has caused more chaos than initially reported. According to sources within the administration, Commander’s actions led to a Secret Service agent being hospitalized.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Commander’s disruptive behavior has escalated, with one particular incident standing out. It is claimed that the dog bit a Secret Service member so severely that the victim bled profusely on the floor and required hospital treatment.
This alarming incident marks the 11th known case of Commander biting White House personnel, further underscoring the seriousness of the situation. The previous ten incidents involving Commander’s aggressive behavior were detailed in reports obtained by the conservative legal activist group Judicial Watch, covering the period from October 2022 to January 2023.
Commander’s aggressive behavior has generated significant concern and prompted calls for his removal from the White House grounds. The safety and well-being of White House staff, including Secret Service agents, remain paramount concerns, leading to the decision to rehome the German shepherd.
President Biden’s administration has yet to comment on the recent allegations concerning Commander’s aggression. The reported incidents have brought increased scrutiny to the challenges of integrating pets into the White House environment, highlighting the importance of ensuring the safety and stability of all those who work within the presidential residence.
