Again, Biden Family’s Dog, Commander, Bites Secret Service Agent
Commander, the two-year-old German Shepherd belonging to the Biden family, has once again bitten a Secret Service agent, marking the 11th incident of its kind, according to a statement from the Secret Service.
The latest attack occurred on Monday night, and the injured officer received on-site treatment.
The White House Press Secretary has previously attributed these biting incidents to the stress associated with residing in the White House.
In a statement made in July, she commented, “As you all know, the White House complex can be unique and very stressful. That is something I’m sure you can all understand. It is unique and it is stressful for all of us. So you can imagine what it’s like for a family pet or family pets, more broadly.”

Commander is one of the Biden family’s two German Shepherds, and the previous biting incidents took place at the president and first lady’s residence in Delaware.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi reported, “Yesterday around 8 pm, a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten.”
He later confirmed that the injured officer had spoken with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Tuesday and is recovering.
In an effort to address the recurring issue, White House officials revealed in July that they were exploring new leashing and training techniques for Commander, following a series of attacks on personnel.
