    Enough is enough already. The biter was sent back to the family homestead in Delaware for awhile but apparently it's back.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-dog-major-bites-white-house-employee

    First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael de Rosa confirmed the "nip" in a statement to Fox News. "Major is still adjusting to his new surroundings and he nipped someone while on a walk. Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by WHMU and then returned to work without injury."

    Oh poor puppy. I’m sure the dog is just very confused. I hope Major gets the training he needs.

    Untrained liberal dogs behave just as poorly as untrained liberal kids. All that's missing is the pink hair and face piercings.

    Absolutely. New environments can cause major stressors on some animals. Training can resolve almost all behavioral issues thankfully.

    I am glad to see pets back in the White House though.

    On a serious note, out here it's 2 bites and you get put to sleep, I hope that doesn't happen to this dog and I'm sure it won't. I can just imagine how an untrained dog that had to change environments several times and be around a ton of strangers can get a little nervous. Dogs bite, that's what they do when they feel stressed or nervous. Cut the dog some slack and only let a select few near it for the time being.

    Hopefully yes. I would hate to see Biden have to let go of Major becaus Major isn’t good around other people. I had cats like that and it’s really hard to see them go because of their environment.

    In my house our pets (2 cats and a horse) are family members, no ifs, ands or buts. You do what's necessary to keep them safe and healthy.

    Yup. You make the environment good for the pet. That's the rule.

    There are extremely rare occasions of a bad dog, but there are many instances of bad owners. This is one of those cases of bad ownership. The dog's image is more important than the dog's quality of life and that's sad.

    The dog needs not to be exposed to so many people and a better environment. The White House is not for Major. I am sure he would thrive in the right environment.

    I don't know if I can say it's bad ownership in this case. They tried having Major live at the White House, but once they realized that wasn't going to work they moved him back and are giving him training. Seems alright with me.

    A dog not living with his owners? That's not a happy dog. =(

    If the dog had screamed across the lawn to attack someone, then I'd say that's pretty serious. But if the dog got near someone he didn't know and sensed danger or the smell of another dog, then I can't really blame the dog all that much. Why was another person so close to the dog? Heck, why was a Park dept guy walking it when it should be Biden himself or family member walking the dog until the he gets more familiar with the people he's around?

    That's true. I'm sure Major misses them. That's more than fair.

    The dog should be around people who knows, trusts and is familiar with. Total strangers shouldn't be walking the dog until the total stranger is no longer a stranger. Where is Biden's family?

    One is smoking crack and impregnating strippers, the others are selling Joe's office to Central America, China, Russia, Ukraine, Iraq, etc.

    The Biden's are not good people and never have been. Jill Biden is likely the worst of the bunch, but she may be rivaled by Joe. That's a seriously depraved family.

    *Bidens

    Why? Because they have an adopted young dog that's having trouble adjusting to life at the White House?

    No. Because the smartest person Biden knows is his drug addict, stripper humping, child support fighting, brother widow marrying son. And Bidens' wife NEVER should have let her senile husband run for office, he should have enjoyed living in one of his 4 mansions for the rest of his life.

    German Shepherds are fiercely loyal and protective. Until they get used to the people who will constantly be around them, then only Bidens' family and people the dog already knows should be near him until the dog learns the other people are friendlies.

    Here's the thing, there is no reason their dog hasn't been to a proper training school. As a guy who is uniquely familiar with and has worked shepherds/mals professionally, to expect a working breed like a shepherd to wander around such a high profile place as the WH with little to no obedience training is not cool. They have the means to give this dog a proper training and environment.
