Was it about time for Biden to get rid of his White House dog?

After multiple biting incidents throughout Biden’s time in office, the White House quietly removed his German shepherd from the premises after photos emerged showing the dog biting a staffer. The photos surfaced last year in October and depicted the 2-year-old dog biting a White House staffer aggressively, the 12th known incident, and cleared the final straw for Commander.

The staffer bitten in the photo was Dale Haney, White House grounds superintendent. The image, which showed Commander biting Haney’s arm and wrist in the gardens, was captured by a tourist visiting Washington, D. C. The week before that incident, Commander bit another Secret Service agent.


Using a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained documents that revealed the extent of the biting incidents. Agents and other White House staff have been dealing with Biden’s aggressive dog for months. One officer was hospitalized from an encounter with the German shepherd.

The famous host of The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, even tried to help the president by offering his services. Millan encouraged the president to “let the dog whisperer come into the White House” and do what he’s done “for 20 years.” Sources from inside the White House said that the Biden family refused to have any discussions about “problem-solving” in order “to protect agents and staff.”

Chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, announced an investigation into the matter in October.

Commander may be a small blunder when compared to Biden’s failure to secure the southern border and slow the influx of illegal immigration, yet perhaps it illustrates an important point: if the president can’t even keep his dog under control, how can Americans expect him to keep an entire country under control?
