The White House and Secret Service are responding to a report of first dog Commander Biden biting several people at the president's various residences.

July 25, 2023, 12:08 PMA White House staffer walks President Joe Biden, and first lady Jill Biden's new dog Commander, a purebred German shepherd puppy, on the South Lawn of the White House, March 13, 2022.

"The White House complex is a unique and often stressful environment for family pets, and the First Family is working through ways to make this situation better for everyone. They have been partnering with the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff on additional leashing protocols and training, as well as establishing designated areas for Commander to run and exercise," Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement to ABC News.

"As such, we are aware of past incidents involving first-family pets and these instances were treated similarly to comparable workplace injuries, to include with relevant notifications and reporting procedures followed. While special agents and officers neither care for nor handle the first family’s pets, we continuously work with all applicable entities to minimize adverse impacts in an environment that includes pets," he said.
