A dog has plunged the White House into trouble after the presidential couple’s dachshund turned out to be … stubborn, to the point that it needs retraining to learn to behave.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill moved into the White House with their two dogs, Chub and Major.
After Chub’s death, their hearts were stolen by the young and energetic “commander”.
A video was even published in which the American president played with the Major Commander or led him by holding him by a chain, inside the presidential residence, saying “Come on, buddy”.
But Biden’s “friend”…bites, reports the American press citing Secret Service documents.
According to them, the Major was involved in ten incidents and in one of them his victim had to go to the hospital.
In one case, Jill Biden “couldn’t get control” of the dog, which repeatedly barked at a Secret Service agent.
“It’s only a matter of time before he attacks or bites an agent or employee again,” a member of the Secret Service said in an email included in the documents.
The first lady’s communications director told CNN that the White House is a “unique place” that “often causes stress for pets.” For this reason, the Commander will have to be retrained, as was done with the other presidential dog, Major.
Major was adopted from a dog shelter and is the first rescued animal of a president. But the Bidens were forced to send him back to Delaware for intensive “good behavior” classes after he bit at least one White House staffer.
