Problem pets are hounding US President Joe Biden again, after his dog Commander was involved in several biting incidents, including at the White House — the second time a Biden family pooch has been accused of nipping staff.
In one incident, First Lady Jill Biden"couldn't regain control" of the young dog as he charged a Secret Service staff member, CNN reported, citing Secret Service emails obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests by conservative group Judicial Watch. Mrs Jill Biden's communications director described the hectic White House to CNN as a"unique and often stressful environment for family pets" and said the Bidens were working with the Secret Service and building staff on new protocols and training.
President Joe Biden attributed Major's unpresidential behaviour to the way he gets surprised by Secret Service agents and others appearing around every corner in the busy White House complex.But while White House cats have been known to gain political cachet — the Clintons' cat, Socks, was photographed at the presidential desk in the Oval Office — they are a much rarer species.
