Biden’s dog Commander was removed from the White House in 2023 after multiple biting incidents involving Secret Service personnel and other staff. Earlier, the Bidens’ older German shepherd, Major , had also been moved out of the White House after similar behavior issues, and Champ died in 2021.

What happened

Commander, a German shepherd given to the Bidens in December 2021, was reported to have been involved in more than a dozen biting incidents, which led to him no longer staying on the White House campus while the family and officials evaluated next steps.
