'First Dog' Expelled from Baegak House Bites Secret Service Agents 24 Times So Far...

More Employees May Be Affected
After Consecutive Accidents, Left Baegakgwan in October Last Year

Reports have emerged that U.S. President Joe Biden's pet dog has bitten Secret Service (USSS) agents at least 24 times while at the White House.

On the 21st (local time), U.S. CNN, British BBC, and other outlets reported that they obtained documents through a Freedom of Information Act request showing that the White House's first dog, "Commander," bit USSS agents at least 24 times from October 2022 to July of last year. Commander is a German Shepherd who joined the White House in 2021.

BBC reported that USSS agents were bitten by Commander on their wrists, forearms, elbows, chest, thighs, and shoulders. However, since there are no records regarding other staff working at the White House or at the President's Camp David residence in Maryland, there may be more victims.

According to the released documents, on October 2, 2022, an agent was bitten by Commander after leaving the door between the White House West Wing and the residence open. On the 26th of the same month, the dog lunged at a security officer, and at that time, First Lady Biden was unable to immediately control Commander. Additionally, in November of the same year, an officer was bitten on the right arm and right quadriceps and required hospital treatment.

On June 11 of last year, the dog lunged at an agent who was opening a door for First Lady Biden and bit the left chest area. This caused the agent's shirt to tear and resulted in two small lacerations on the chest. In the same month, an agent was deeply bitten on the arm by Commander, requiring stitches. The following month, in July of last year, another agent was bitten on the hand and required six stitches.

Despite the repeated biting incidents by Commander, USSS agents reportedly considered various measures. According to CNN, a senior USSS agent sent an email to colleagues in June last year stating, "When Commander is present, it is necessary to adjust the way missions are carried out," and added, "Ensure sufficient space. Act creatively for safety."

Ultimately, Commander left the White House after severely biting an agent in October of last year.
