[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suhwan] The dogs of U.S. President Joe Biden, who were sent away from the White House after biting a security guard, will soon return to the White House.

On the 9th (local time), White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated at a press conference, "Yesterday, Major, one of President Biden's dogs, was startled by a stranger and caused minor injuries," adding, "Currently, the dogs have left the White House and are at President Biden's residence in Delaware, but they are scheduled to return to the White House."

She also said, "The person who was injured received treatment from the White House medical team and does not require further medical care." When asked by reporters to identify the person bitten by Major, Psaki declined to provide that information.

She emphasized that the dogs leaving the White House was not because they were sent away for biting someone. Psaki explained, "President Biden had a military base tour scheduled this week, and during that time, the dogs were planned to be cared for by the President's acquaintances," adding, "They were not sent away due to an incident and were always expected to return to the White House."

When asked if Major might be euthanized, Psaki responded, "There is no reason for that," and said, "'Major Biden' is a member of the family."

Earlier, CNN reported that Major showed aggressive behavior, including biting a security guard at the White House, leading to both dogs being sent back to Delaware.
