He bit a Secret Service agent and a National Park Service employee during his time at the Executive Residence,\u201d the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10330447\/Biden-adds-new-PUPPY-called-Commander-family.html\">reported<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged just one biting incident at a briefing on March 9, 2021, saying that one day earlier \u2018the first family\u2019s younger dog, Major, was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual,&#8217;\u201d the Post said.<\/p>\n<p>But records released to Judicial Watch show that was the eighth and final bite in as many days.\u00a0 And one agent reportedly said: \u201cNO I didn\u2019t surprise the dog doing my job by being at [redacted] as the press secretary just said! Now I\u2019m pissed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judicial Watch has previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/biden-dog-major\/\">reported<\/a> on other findings they found about the dog biting incidents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne email notes that \u2018at the current rate an Agent or Officer has been bitten every day this week (3\/1-3\/8) causing damage to attire or bruising\/punctures to the skin,&#8217;\u201d Judicial Watch reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe documents show that agents were advised to protect their \u2018hands\/fingers\u2019 by placing their hands \u2018in their pockets.\u2019 Photos of the dog bite injuries were redacted [blacked out] by the agency,\u201d the group reported.<\/p>\n<p>But people other than Secret Service agents to the White House were also endangered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn March 5, 2021, a series of emails was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/documents\/jw-v-dh-biden-dogs-august-2021-01194-pg-19\/\">sent<\/a> about Major attacking a White House pass holder,\u201d Judicial Watch noted. \u201cThe Presidential Protective Division reported, \u2018For your awareness. WHMU [White House Medical Unit] responded to the South Portico a short time ago on a UDW [Uniformed Division White House] report of a pass holder with a dog bite. The pass holder is [redacted] of the Residence Staff.
