Does it constitute a "hostile work environment" when the boss' dog continues to bite the employees?
Not if you work in the Biden White House. There it’s just part of the job.
Judicial Watch obtained correspondence that details a number of the attacks on members of the Secret Service by Commander the bitey German Shepard who replaced Major the previous bitey German Shepard that was exiled from the White House so he could bite people in private.
In only nine months — between October 2022 and July 2023 — Commander attacked and bit members of U.S. Secret Service a total of at least 24 times.
We doubt the average police K–9 dog does that much suspect chewing over nine months, must less gnawing on law enforcement members.
An increasingly failing Joe Biden, who was frequently walking the dog when the attacks occurred, without Commander being on a leash, naturally didn’t see a problem.
After all, he wasn’t getting bitten.
Here is one account of an attack on a Secret Service agent that occurred on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023 while Biden was taking his dog to the Kennedy Garden, which is on the South Lawn for a walk in the evening.
"As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket.
"I pulled my arm away and yelled, 'No." POTUS also yelled [redacted] to Commander. POTUS then [redacted]. I obliged and Commander let me pet him."
Why the agent would agree to pet a dog that just bit him is confusing.
Why give the dog two bites of the apple.
And, sure enough, the reproachment didn’t last long.
"When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time. POTUS again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him. My suit coat has three holes, one being all the way through. No skin was broken."
Another time a sergeant wrote that a bitten uniformed officer "may need to go to the hospital."
After, say three bites by the same dog a responsible dog owner would begin to wonder if his dog needed extensive training.
But not Joe Biden who is the best the world has ever seen at whatever he attempts, and that includes dog training.
The 24 attacks are someone else’s problem.
For its part the Secret Service would have settled for a muzzle on the dog.
Which it didn’t get.
The Biden’s have had two dogs in the White House and both had to be sent away after repeated attacks on personnel.
After a while we begin to wonder if maybe the dogs are just reflecting the personality of their owner?
