Biden saw his dog attack Secret Service agents who wished each other “good shift,” the report said

Numerous incident reports indicate that President Joe Biden allegedly observed his German Shepherd commander biting members of the Secret Service.

Biden’s dogs have become the bane of the Secret Service and others in the White House. Commander, Biden’s second dog since becoming president, was surrendered in February. Biden’s first dog as president, Major, was rehomed in 2021. Both dogs have attacked Secret Service agents on multiple occasions.

Conservative think tank Judicial monitoring managed to obtain the Secret Service incident logs through a Freedom of Information Act request, but only after suing the Department of Homeland Security for access.

Records show that Biden was present during at least two of the commander’s attacks on Secret Service agents.

In one incident on September 12, 2023, a Secret Service agent accompanied Biden for his evening stroll in Kennedy Garden. At one point, the agent approached the president to check if he needed help, but an unleashed commander “ran through (Biden’s) legs and bit me through the front of my jacket on my left arm.”

Biden stepped in and yelled at the dog and – according to the context of the report – asked the agent to pet the dog, presumably to get the animal used to the agents. Unfortunately, even after petting, Commander still wasn’t satisfied.

“I complied and Commander let me pet him. When I turned to close the door, Commander jumped up again and bit me on the left arm for the second time. The US President yelled at Commander again and put the leash on him,” the agent wrote in an email.

Attached to the email were photos of the agent’s blue suit showing the holes where Commander had bitten her, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch. The agent said the dog ripped three holes in his suit but did not break his skin.

An email sent between intelligence agents two days later detailed another attack on the commander, along with another photo of the damage to the suit and a “damage to personal property” form.

The incident discussed in the email occurred on May 12, 2021, and involves a $943 demand for a new lawsuit.

“Through no fault of my own or my negligence, the coat was torn by a dog bite,” the agent wrote in the email.

In another email dated September 25, an agent warned his colleagues that “there had been a dog bite and the officer may need to go to the hospital.”

“A safe shift!” said the agent.

After an attack made headlines in late September, agents insisted on muzzled Commander.

“Attention and for your information. TMZ just reported a dog bite at the White House! Can we please find a way to muzzle this dog,” one agent wrote to a group of colleagues.

While some are shocked that TMZ While some knew about the attack before them, others agreed that “this dog needs to be muzzled.”

The Biden family praised the Secret Service’s “patience” in a statement from the First Lady’s communications director shortly after Commander’s departure from the White House.

“They (the President and First Lady) remain grateful for the patience and support of the U.S. intelligence community and all stakeholders as they continue to work toward solutions,” the statement said. “The President and First Lady care deeply about the safety of those who work in the White House and those they protect every day.”
