After a series of reported biting incidents, Commander, the 2-year-old dog of U.S. President Joe Biden, has been removed as the second “first dog” from the White House grounds, according to a spokesperson.
A Secret Service spokesperson quoted in the Washington Post last week stated that Commander, a German Shepherd, allegedly bit a Secret Service agent on September 25, marking the 11th known incident. Elizabeth Alexander, spokeswoman for First Lady Jill Biden, said in a statement, “Commander is not currently on the White House campus while we evaluate the next steps.”
“The president and first lady are deeply concerned about the safety of the people who work at the White House and those who protect them every day. We remain appreciative of the U.S. Secret Service’s patience and assistance as we seek answers,” continued Alexander. The White House did not disclose Commander’s current whereabouts or any additional measures taken. Commander is the president’s third dog at the White House, having been presented to Biden as a puppy in December 2021.
Multiple biting incidents led to the removal of Major, a different German Shepherd, at the age of 3, while Champ, an older Shepherd, passed away. Despite receiving training, Major continued to bite members of the security crew and was ultimately transferred to a friend’s house.
