Biden’s German Shepherd, Commander had reportedly been causing chaos and concern at the White House before he was eventually removed, with newly released records [1] revealing multiple attacks on U.S. Secret Service (USSS) personnel. According to correspondence obtained by Judicial Watch [2], Commander’s aggressive behavior has led to trips to the emergency room and even discussions about the need for a muzzle.
It appears that the attacks occurred while Joe Biden was walking the dog, with the president himself witnessing these incidents firsthand. Concerned employees of the U.S. Secret Service Safety, Health & Environment Division even suggested purchasing a muzzle for the ferocious German Shepherd, as a previous dog bite incident had already been reported at the White House.
HUGE! NEW documents show Joe Biden is personally responsible for attacks by his dog Commander on Secret Service personnel! No wonder the Biden White House forced @JudicialWatch [3] to go to federal court for these records.https://t.co/XYbNhpXY5T [4] pic.twitter.com/NBkr2cmLhO [5]

One USSS agent shared a frightening encounter that took place on September 13, 2023. As the agent approached to offer assistance, Commander lunged and bit the agent’s left arm through his jacket. Thankfully, no skin was broken, but the dog continued its aggressive behavior by biting the agent’s arm a second time before the president intervened and attached the leash.
Another email revealed an incident where a Secret Service police officer had been bitten by Commander, but thankfully did not require hospitalization. These interactions with the dog highlight a disturbing pattern of aggressive behavior.
This is not the first time the Bidens have faced issues with their pets. Prior to Commander’s arrival, their former dog Major also displayed aggressive behavior, which included biting Secret Service and White House staff. With incidents occurring not only at the White House but also in locations such as Wilmington, Delaware, Camp David, and Biden’s beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, it seems that dog altercations have become a recurring theme for the First Family.
Reports indicate that Commander has now left the White House and is residing with other family members. The series of biting incidents has undoubtedly raised concerns about the safety of USSS personnel and White House staff who interact with the Biden crime family’s pets.
