President Biden’s dog, Commander, who replaced former first dog Major due to aggressive behavior, reportedly bit seven people in a four-month period, according to a new report.
One of the more serious incidents involving Commander, as per internal Secret Service communications first reported by the New York Post, occurred on November 3, 2022. The incident led to the White House physician’s office referring a Secret Service officer to the hospital for treatment after the individual was bitten on the thigh and arm by the dog.

Other emails released under the Freedom of Information Act to conservative legal group Judicial Watch revealed that Commander had broken the skin of another Secret Service member’s hand and arm just weeks later, after Biden removed his leash outside the White House following a family movie night. In January, Commander bit and “latched on” to a security technician’s back at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware.
“These shocking records raise fundamental questions about President Biden and the Secret Service,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, according to the outlet. “This is a special sort of craziness and corruption where a president would allow his dog to repeatedly attack and bite Secret Service and White House personnel. And rather than protect its agents, the Secret Service tried to illegally hide documents about the abuse of its agents and officers by the Biden family.”
On October 26, 2022, a Secret Service officer sent an email to fellow colleagues expressing concerns about the potential for President Biden’s canine pet to bite an officer. “Commander has been exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior,” the officer wrote on Oct. 26.
The most significant event involving Commander took place on November 3, 2022, at the White House when a Secret Service officer was seated at the bottom of a stairwell. According to an internal agency email, the dog “came down the stairs and walked toward” the officer, resulting in a bite on the officer’s arm around the tricep area. When the officer stood up, Commander then bit down on the quad muscle area of the officer’s leg.
Another officer stated that the victim of the attack experienced “a considerable amount of pain” and had to use a steel cart to protect himself from the dog’s assault.
Two days after that incident, the officer who was attacked emailed a colleague who asked how they were doing, writing, “My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me twice.”
The colleague who inquired about the other agent’s condition responded, “What a joke… if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle.”
