“[A]s I waded through the gory details of all these biting incidents, my empathy for the Bidens faded. Put plainly, these documents are a harrowing narrative of pet ownership in high places run dangerously amok,” Abramson says. “Two dogs belonging to the same family were both serial biters and had to be exiled. At some point, the trouble is not the animals — it’s the owners.”

Although Commander has received the most media coverage, Abramson points out that the Bidens’ other German Shepherd, Major, was just as dangerous. “Commander had already been guilty of other biting incidents on top of the ones revealed last week — and he is not the only bad actor in the Biden canine pack. Major, a German shepherd the Bidens rescued, also attacked an agent and a National Park Service employee,” writes Abramson.

The documents released last week, she says, highlight the Bidens’ bad behavior as dog owners: “In the documents, agents complained that the dogs, even after being put on supposed high watch, would sometimes appear out of nowhere or be roaming around unsupervised. Indeed, just days after Commander was permitted to return to the White House, he bit another person.”

The Secret Service documents revealed that one attack by Commander was so vicious that East Wing tours had to be stopped in order to clean up blood from the floors.
