Maybe somebody should have thought to train the dogs before putting them into a new environment with lots of strangers? German Shepherds are intelligent and very trainable but with their known behavioral traits it should not have been expected that they would handle the environment they were dropped in to seamlessly. I guess the optics of having a dog back in the WH was more important than other considerations.
I hire a lot of handyman work done using Craig’s list. If my German Shepherd liked a guy, he would be considered for the job. If Duke didn’t like him, I didn’t even look at his qualifications. Dogs know attitude. I don’t know how, but they do. The few times I hired someone before learning to trust Duke, he stayed at my feet and growled if they came closer to me. One eventually quit for fear of the dog— and I’m pretty sure that he would have been bit if he had made any threatening moves. Instead of removing the dog, Biden should have transferred the SS man and gotten one his dog liked. Wasn’t it Truman that said " If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog".

Cute. Sad that the dogs weren’t able to handle the new digs.

This is a scandal? Trump snickers.

That’s like telling a pol running for re-election to keep it short. Good luck with that.

A change of homestead can be very stressful to an animal, combined with dozens of strange people and noises. The dog is forgiven,

And only bite Ted Cruz. He left his poor dog in a freezing house while he was in Cancun.

Best joke I heard on this: Biden’s pet bites a person and he’s sent home. Trump’s pet bites him and he’s sent to the Capitol to be hung by a mob.

OT a bit but whoa, half of the comics I look at I can not read the comments due to a notice claiming the que is full

Please note that other White House dogs have been a bit snippy. Example, Bush’s dog Barney…

Can’t blame the dog, I wouldn’t want to live in Washington either!

Soon Major will have to share the spotlight with another presidential pet: a cat.

However, there are five or six House members you may bite.

Limit the biting to T**** cult insurrectionists that may yet try breaking into the White House this time.
