The Biden family dog was a bit more of a problem pooch than the White House initially acknowledged, according to Secret Service emails obtained by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch.
The White House said at the end of March that Major, the Bidens' 3-year-old German shepherd, was involved in a"At the current rate an Agent or Officer has been bitten every day this week causing damage to attire or bruising/punctures to the skin," one of the emails said.
“As we’ve stated previously, Major has had some challenges adjusting to life in the White House. He has been receiving additional training as well as spending some time in Delaware where the environment is more familiar to him and he is more comfortable. I don’t have any additional specifics but I think that speaks to where Major is located, to be fully transparent in your ongoing interest in the dog,” Psaki said.
Major's problems appear to have started at the end of February, a month after Biden took office, when the first family was in Delaware. "Panicking or running with only embolden animals so stand your ground and protect your hands/fingers by placing them in your pockets or behind your back," the email warned.Emails show he nipped an agent on March 3rd, and a visitor to the residence staff on March 5th.After seeing a report of a dog bite, an agent asked,"Was it Major?" The other agent responds,"Minor. Did break the skin." The first agent then explains he was referring to the dog.
