This week, Commander, President Joe Biden's German shepherd, was involved in another biting incident, this time with a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer. The White House Medical Office treated the female officer, and the First Family is working on ways to help Commander handle the unpredictable environment of the White House grounds. Nearly 200-pages of redacted federal documents released in October revealed that Commander had been involved in 10 biting incidents since October, and the Secret Service has taken steps to protect staff from the dog. The White House has not commented on the latest incident, but the Secret Service is taking the matter seriously.
