Newly-surfaced documents obtained by government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal that President Joe Biden’s German Shepherd, Commander, has attacked Secret Service agents multiple times, causing enough harm that the dog technically “needs to be put down” to ensure the safety of the public. These horrific attacks have resulted in at least one agent being hospitalized.

Judicial Watch disclosed that they have accumulated 194 pages of records from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which indicate 10 severe attacks on USSS officers by President Joe Biden’s dog, Commander, between October 2022 and January 2023. These records do not even include any recent events involving the vicious animal. The agents had to receive urgent medical care, including hospitalization in various scenarios.

Judicial Watch has been persistent about the release of the files through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that they initiated after the Secret Service failed to react satisfactorily to their request for records associated with occurrences of violence and snarls involving the Biden dog. The group had initiated the request after receiving information regarding the dangerous behaviors of the dog.
The email conversations disclosed in the documents expose the horror inflicted on the agents by the disastrous pet. The Secret Service agents have labeled the Biden dog “a freaking clown,” with Commander “would already have been put down” if not for it being a presidential pet. In a November 5, 2022 email exchange between a Uniformed Division officer and a victim of the November 3 attack, the first officer asked, “Are you okay [redacted]? It’s insane how that dumb dog caused your injury – shaking my head [redacted].” The victim answered, “My leg and arm are still in agony. He bit me twice and chased me twice.” The colleague replied, “What a joke [redacted] – if it were somebody else’s dog, he would already have been put down – that buffoon needs a muzzle – I hope you get better [redacted].”
The Biden family has had history with dog attacks, with their other dog, Major, sent off to a farm (given to friends) in the last weeks of 2021 after perpetrating assaults on agents and White House personnel.
When questioned about the latest attacks involving Commander, First Lady Jill Biden’s office attributed the dog’s behavior to a “stressful environment.” Going forward, it is vital to ensure safety among the Secret Service agents who are tasked with protecting the leader of the free world, by preventing these violent and unpredictable dogs from causing further untold injuries.
