President Joe Biden’s dog, Major, has struck again, nipping someone on a walk despite having been sent home to cool off in Delaware following a similar incident earlier this month.
According to the BBC, First Lady Jill Biden’s spokesperson, Michael LaRosa, said that ‘out of an abundance of caution’ an individual was seen by medical staff before returning to work.
Major, the first rescue dog to have a home at the White House, is the younger of the Bidens’ two German Shepherds.
Both Major and Champ, the second dog, were moved to the Biden family home in Wilmington, Delaware, after the first biting incident on 8 March.
President Biden said Major was getting used to having so many new people around him.
‘You turn the corner and there’s two people you don’t know at all and they move, and he moves to protect,’ he reportedly said on ABC’s Good Morning America. Biden added: ‘Eighty-five per cent of the people [at the White House] love him. All he does is lick them and wag his tail. But… I realise some people, understandably, are afraid of dogs to begin with.’
