Biden’s dog Commander bites again, causing removal: Ingraham criticizes unequal treatment of dogs, highlighting 12th bite incident.
President Biden’s German Shepherd Commander Removed from White House After Aggressive Biting Incident
President Joe Biden’s beloved German shepherd, Commander, has been causing quite a stir lately. In a shocking turn of events, photos emerged showing the dog aggressively biting a White House staffer, marking the 12th known bite incident.
Fox News Host Questions Double Standard in Treatment of President’s Dog
Fox News host Laura Ingraham wasted no time in criticizing the handling of the situation, highlighting a potential double standard in the treatment of the president’s dog. Ingraham pointed out that any other dog in Washington D.C. that bites even once would face strict quarantine and necessary shots, but Commander seems to be getting special treatment.
The latest incident occurred on September 13, when a White House tourist attempted to capture pictures of Biden’s dog. To their horror, they witnessed Commander aggressively attacking Dale Haney, the superintendent of the White House grounds. The German shepherd jumped up on Haney in the White House gardens, sinking his teeth into his arm and wrist.
Haney, a dedicated 71-year-old chief groundskeeper with 50 years of service, became the 12th known victim of Commander’s biting spree. Just last week, it was revealed that the dog had bitten a Secret Service agent for the 11th time.
Calls for Action on the White House Scandal
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York emphasized the urgency for President Biden to address this ongoing White House scandal. York questioned the president’s priorities, suggesting that putting a dog’s needs above the safety of those who protect him is unacceptable.
According to Washington, D.C. regulations, a dog that bites must be quarantined on the owner’s property for 10 days, and the owner is liable for any damages caused. The district also has strict statutes for dogs that have attacked without provocation, allowing the mayor to conduct investigations and potentially deem a dog dangerous.
In response to the mounting pressure, a spokesperson for the White House announced that Commander has been removed from the premises. The President and First Lady expressed their concern for the safety of their staff and gratitude for the support of the U.S. Secret Service during this challenging time.
While the next steps are being evaluated, Commander will not be present on the White House campus.

Why do critics argue that keeping Commander at the White House sets a dangerous precedent?
Dog that had bitten someone multiple times would likely be euthanized, but Commander was simply removed from the White House.
White House officials have defended their decision, stating that Commander is undergoing additional training to address his aggressive behavior. They maintain that the safety and well-being of all members of the White House staff are of utmost importance and that steps are being taken to ensure a safe working environment.
However, critics argue that the decision to keep Commander at the White House despite his repeated biting incidents sets a dangerous precedent. They worry that it sends a message that aggressive behavior can be tolerated and that there are different rules for those in positions of power.
Several experts in animal behavior and training have weighed in on the situation, offering various opinions on the matter. Some believe that Commander’s aggressive behavior can be modified through proper training and socialization, while others argue that certain dogs may simply have a propensity for aggression that cannot be fully eliminated.
Regardless of the opinions on Commander’s future, the incident has sparked a larger conversation about responsible pet ownership and the importance of addressing aggressive behavior. Many argue that it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that their dog receives the necessary training and socialization to prevent incidents like the one involving Commander.
President Biden has expressed his commitment to working with Commander and ensuring that he receives the appropriate training. He has also expressed his concern for the staff member who was bitten and has wished them a speedy recovery.
The removal of Commander from the White House serves as a reminder that even in the highest positions of power, pet ownership comes with responsibilities. It highlights the need for owners to be diligent in addressing any signs of aggression and taking appropriate action to prevent harm to others.
As Commander continues his training, it remains to be seen how successful these efforts will be in curbing his aggressive behavior. The outcome of this situation will undoubtedly have an impact on the public’s perception of President Biden and his decision-making abilities.
Regardless, the incident serves as a reminder that even the most beloved pets can exhibit dangerous behavior. It is imperative that owners take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of their pets and those around them.
In the case of Commander, the hope is that he will be able to overcome his aggressive tendencies and live a happy and fulfilling life. The responsibility now lies with President Biden and his team to ensure that this outcome is achieved.
