A spokesperson for U.S. President Joe Biden stated that the president's dog has been removed from the White House after biting several staff members. The Bidens have sent their two-year-old German Shepherd named "Commander" to an unknown location while they consider "next steps" for the presidential dog. This announcement came after several U.S. media outlets reported that Biden's dog, who arrived at the White House as a cute puppy in 2021, was involved in more biting incidents than previously disclosed. The Secret Service admitted that 11 of its agents were bitten, but CNN reported that the actual number is higher and that the dog also bit other employees at the White House. No further details have been provided about Commander’s whereabouts or whether this action is permanent. The last sighting of the dog in the White House was on September 30, when he was spotted by photographers on the Truman Balcony at the president's residence. The Bidens had previously blamed the "stressful" environment in the White House for their pets' erratic behavior.
