President Biden saw his German Shepherd chomp down on Secret Service on multiple occasions before the family dog got booted from the White House … according to new docs.
Biden’s pooch, Commander, got shown the door after dozens of instances where he bit agents tasked with protecting POTUS … and these newly released documents claim Biden was present for at least 3 of those attacks.
In one previously unreported instance on Sept. 12 — Biden was walking Commander on a leash in the Kennedy Garden on the White House’s South Lawn … when Commander ran through JB’s legs and bit an approaching agent in the left arm, ripping a hole in their jacket.
The agent says Joe then let him pet Commander … but when later opening and closing a door for POTUS and Commander not too long after, the agent says the dog jumped again and bit them a second time in the left arm.
Commander’s bites didn’t break the agent’s skin, but they said the bites tore 3 holes in the suit … and the agent filed a $943 reimbursement. There’s photos of the holes too.
The docs, first obtained by Judicial Watch, show Biden was present for 2 other attacks involving Commander … in October 2022 the Prez was there when Commander bit an agent holding a door for Biden near the Rose Garden.
Biden was also placed at the scene of a December 2022 attack … he was walking Commander on a leash in the Kennedy Garden, but when he let Commander off the leash to run free, the dog ran off and sank his teeth into an agent, causing a half-inch cut.
As we reported, Commander was booted from the White House back in October as a result of ongoing biting issues.
The new internal docs, however, suggest Commander bit agents on at least three dozen occasions … a jump from the previously reported 24 incidents. So … we’re talking 36 times.

Commander’s human-biting ways were well-known around the White House … on Sept. 25, a sergeant in the Secret Service wrote a colleague, “FYI- there was a dog bite and the Officer may need to go to the hospital … Have a safe shift!”
Then, only two days later, an official in the Secret Service’s agency’s Safety, Health & Environmental Division wrote: “Can we please find a way to get this dog muzzled.”
Commander in Teeth, indeed.
