Rogue Commander: Biden’s Dog Bit More People
Last fall, there were reported 9 biting incidents – now the total is at least 24 bites

How many bites does it take to get to the center of a Secret Service agent?
Like the kid in the Tootsie Pop ad, Commander Biden really wanted to know.
The stories of President Biden’s German Shepherd Commander biting a number of agents and other White House staff have been out and about since late last year, stories which prompted his deportation to Delaware.
But the number of bites that actually occurred was apparently fudged in Commander’s favor.
And Congress wants to know why.
This morning, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) the chair of the House Workplace and Education Committee – they oversee the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – sent a letter to Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su – OSHA is part of her department – demanding to be told what, if anything, OSHA did to enforce workplace safety rules in the White House.
As of last fall, there were reported nine biting incidents, one of which was so severe that Commander’s target had to be hospitalized. Now, says Foxx, the total is at least 24 incidents, nearly three times what had been admitted to initially.
And these are not new bites – they all happened before Commander was sent to Biden family compound. The number of people bitten there, if any, is not known.
“In light of this new information, the Committee stresses that it is still concerned about the occupational safety and health program for all employees working at the White House and the Executive Office of the President (EOP),” Foxx wrote. “This letter continues the Committee’s commitment to conducting oversight on this serious matter.”
When the committee asked a similar question last year, the department responded that OSHA was “not aware of, and does not possess, any forms or reports responsive to [the Committee’s] letters,” i.e. not aware of any dog bites, despite it being national news.
As the executive office is an agency of the government, it is required by law to have workplace health and safety standards and abide by them. Last year, OSHA seemed to indicate that the White House was exempt, at least informally, from those regulations.
“This qualification suggests that, despite the dictates of the OSH Act,” Foxx wrote. “OSHA is picking and choosing which agencies it scrutinizes and requires to submit data.”
While dog bites may not be earth shattering news, it is quite clear that Commander Biden – like his “half-brother” Hunter – is getting extremely special treatment, raising the issue of, as Foxx wrote, “rules for thee but not for me.” (See Gavin Newsom at the French Laundry, Mayor London Breed at the jazz club, Mayor Eric Garcetti at the football game, and, it seems, every other public official who imposed draconian pandemic rules on the public but skirted them themselves.)
If Commander were just a regular dog in California, he would almost certainly have been put down at the order of the local animal control agency long ago.
In California, two unprovoked bites can lead to being labelled a “potentially dangerous dog” and the dog becomes eligible for euthanasia. (Note: California hospitals have to report dog bites to the local animal control and the public has a right to know where dangerous dogs live – it’s like the sex offender list.)
In the District of Columbia, Commander’s erstwhile home, the process involves a complaint and a hearing and if the dog is deemed dangerous, which Commander almost certainly would have been (again, like Hunter, except for having the last name of Biden,) the dog becomes eligible for forced euthanasia.
In other words, if Commander lived in “a” white house rather than The White House, there would have been a hearing that could have resulted in ordered euthanasia.
Pretty much the same holds true for Commander’s new home of Delaware; the rules are similar and – unfortunately for Commander – not enforced by the Department of Justice.
Why Commander bites is another mystery. While German Shepards are known to be hyper-loyal and protective of their ‘pack,” most do not just keep biting people who get close to their “alpha” dog, in this case Joe Biden. Biden is surrounded by people every day – especially his Secret Service detail which must be veery close at all times – and that could have contributed to the problem but it is still a problem that should never have occurred.
Commander, it seems, is not well trained at all and – with state-ordered euthanasia almost certainly not going to happen – a proper and caring and conscientious dog owner would typically have to consider the voluntary option for the protection of everyone around him.
Even very dog-friendly groups like the American Kennel Club acknowledge this fact and strongly suggest the owner seek professional help to find out what is causing the problem. Sometimes it could literally be a solvable medical issue (for example, if a dog is deaf in one ear anything coming from that aide toward its owner may surprise the dog, etc.)
The AKC also notes that simply moving the dog – as Biden did – is not the proper response:
“…never rehome your dog or surrender them to a rescue or shelter without giving a complete and thorough history of the behavioral issues. It’s unfair to put others at risk, and depending on local laws, you might be liable for any damage done by your dog. Be sure the person taking your dog knows exactly what they are in for and is willing to treat and deal with your dog’s aggression. Depending on your dog’s specific issues, this might be an impossible request.”
It is possible that Joe’s own deteriorating health and cognitive abilities are part of the cause – maybe Commander senses his growing dementia/erraticism and is put on permanent edge by it. Dogs protect pack leaders and when they know there is something wrong with the leader they protect them even more fiercely (of course, if Joe were another dog they would have, um, overthrown him as leader by now for the safety of the pack.)
“Most importantly, you must consider everyone’s safety when contemplating euthanasia. This includes the safety of you, your dog, as well as the safety of other people and animals in your home,” writes Erin Jones on https://www.k9ofmine.com/. “If your dog is a constant threat to others, the situation is not only dangerous but also stressful for everyone — including your dog. Living in a constant state of terror is no way to live at all, and you can’t risk yourself or others if the aggression is unmanageable.”
Failing to take responsibility for the actions of their dog shows a serious problem with the owner, in this case Joe Biden. It shows he doesn’t care about the dog, it shows he does not care that his dog attacks people, and, because it would be on the taxpayer’s dime if there was ever an even more serious lawsuit – he does not have to care.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s not Commander’s fault.
I mean, look at Hunter…

Let’s face facts – NOTHING associated with the Bidens is “normal” and certainly not DISCIPLINED, so it’s not surprising that their dog misbehaves, just as their son does….
All are basically feral creatures….
No bad dogs – just bad Presidents.
On a positive note: Hunter is almost house trained.
Feel sorry for the dog- like watching the sad eyes of the dogs in animal rescue videos. Any normal family would have made the decision to put the dog down after a bite resulted in a hospitalization.
We all know the reason the dog hasn’t been put down- bad political optics for Joe Biden. Better to bury the story from the public eye.
Insane master, insane dog.
