President Biden’s German shepherd has a Major problem.
Major, the Biden’s 3-year-old adopted pet, has been in another biting incident requiring medical attention, CNN reports.
The dog reportedly bit a National Park Service employee on the White House South Lawn Monday afternoon.
“Yes, Major nipped someone on a walk,” first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa told CNN.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by WHMU and then returned to work.”
The biting comes just a week after Major returned to the White House following a time out in Delaware, after he bit a White House security guard, causing a minor injury.
After that March 8 incident, Major — the first presidential rescue dog — and 12-year-old Champ were sent back to the Biden family home in Wilmington, Delaware for “training,” officials said.
Major was “surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki said of the incident.
The pooch had reportedly been barking and lunging at staff and security, and the president chalked up the nipping to nervousness.
“You turn a corner and there’s two people you don’t know at all,” Biden said at the time. “And he moves to protect. But he’s a sweet dog. Eighty-five percent of the people there love him. All he does is lick them and wag his tail.”
