Favorite Commander
The White House expelled the US President’s favorite Commander for his unbearable behavior.
Commander is the name of the Shepherd dog belonging to President Joe Biden’s family. He has been relocated from the White House due to a series of biting incidents.
The spokesperson for First Lady Jill Biden disclosed this on Thursday.
Just last week, the Commander bit a Secret Service agent, requiring immediate on-site medical attention.
This incident marks the 11th occasion where the dog has attacked a security officer, either within the White House complex or at their family residence in Delaware.
Earlier, the spokesperson said, “The President and First Lady are deeply concerned about the safety of those working at the White House and those who protect them. They appreciated the patience and support of the US Secret Service and all involved as they explored potential solutions. Commander is currently not present on the White House grounds while the next steps are being considered.”
The statement did not provide details regarding the Commander’s current location or any plans for a potential return to the White House.
Meanwhile, it may be jealousy or the loyalty of the dog of US President Joe Biden’s (namely Commander) as he is targeting the Secret Service agents.
On Monday, the 11th documented case of President Joe Biden’s German Shepherd biting a US Secret Service agent occurred at the White House.
The US Secret Service (USSS) Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi reported that a Secret Service police officer had an encounter with one of the First Family’s pets and was bitten. Medical personnel on the premises provided treatment to the injured officer.
The injured officer had a conversation with Secret Service Uniformed Division Chief Alfonso Dyson Sr on Tuesday and is recovering well.
After the recent incident of biting, the White House expelled the Commander.
Commander has been involved in at least 11 biting incidents, both at the White House and in Delaware. This includes a November 2022 incident in which an officer was hospitalized after being bitten on the arms and thighs.
In July, White House officials announced that the Bidens were implementing new training and leash protocols for their family pet in response to these incidents.
Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for the First Lady, stated that “the First Family continues to work on ways to help Commander handle the often unpredictable nature of the White House grounds.”
She also expressed gratitude to the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff for their efforts in ensuring the safety of the First Family.
It’s worth noting that another of Biden’s dogs, Major, was involved in several biting incidents at the White House. Eventually, Major left the White House, and in 2021, the Commander replaced Major.
A conservative group called Judicial Watch obtained email correspondence from July detailing 10 incidents involving Commander. In one incident the first lady struggled to regain control of the dog as it charged toward a Secret Service staff member.
In the email, the staff member expressed concern that it was only a matter of time before an agent or officer would be attacked or bitten.
