President Joe Biden’s dog Commander is in the news again but is the much-maligned German Shepherd really to blame for its aggressive behavior?

Documents obtained by a conservative watchdog group reveal more details about the Biden family pet’s ferociousness toward Secret Service personnel, including that the geriatric Democrat at times had a front-row seat to some of the attacks.

The 116 pages of  United States Secret Service (USSS) records provided to Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request shed new light on dozens of incidents, some of which occurred while Biden was walking the dog.

According to one September 12, 2023 email between Secret Service agents: “POTUS took Commander (on a leash) to the Kennedy Garden this evening for a walk. While POTUS and Commander were in the Kennedy Garden I was standing half way from the Book-Sellers and the Family Theater. POTUS opened the Book-Seller door and said [redacted]. As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket.”

“I pulled my arm away and yelled no. POTUS also yelled [redacted] to Commander. POTUS then [redacted]. I obliged and Commander let me pet him. When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time. POTUS again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him. My suit coat has 3 holes,1 being all the way through. No skin was broken,” the email states.

“Yesterday, around 8pm, a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten,” USSS communications chief Anthony Guglielmi wrote in another email. “The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex, and I am not aware of any hospitalization.”

Another email suggested that the Bidens should get a muzzle for Commander, “TMZ just reported a dog bite at the White House! Can we please find a way to get this dog muzzled?”

The idea that Biden would have access to the best dog trainers in the world and yet not utilize their expertise to properly train Commander speaks volumes and begs the obvious question of why someone unable to control his own dog and children is fit to be the leader of the free world.

The newly released documents came up on Thursday’s edition of “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News.

“This is a failure of training ok, and they didn’t come clean about this,” Ingraham stated. “Dogs can be trained, they have access to the best dog training in the world through the Secret Service and this went on and on.”

Biden’s inability to take command of his own dog’s behavioral issues is yet another sign of weakness from the commander-in-chief.
