"The President and First Lady care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House and those who protect them every day," she said.

<h2>Biting incidents: Some went unreported</h2>

As per reports, there are 11 known incidents of Commander biting the White House staff, including Secret Service agents. However, as per a CNN report from Wednesday (Oct 4), there were several more incidents that went unreported.

The most recent reported incident is from last month when the canine bit a Secret Service agent on White House Grounds.

This information was uncovered by the Conservative legal activist group Judicial Watch, which obtained reports of incidents where Commander terrorised staff.&nbsp;

As per Internal Secret Service communications, as reported by the New York Post, on 3 November 2022, an officer landed in hospital after being bitten on the thigh and arm. The agent was referred to the hospital by the White House physician's office.

Daily Mail on Wednesday (Oct 4) published pictures of Commander allegedly biting White House grounds superintendent Dale Haney. The photos from a week ago were clicked by a tourist visiting the White House grounds.

The White House superintendent, as per an Axios, has denied reports that he was bitten by Commander.&nbsp;

On this, Elizabeth Alexander said: "We spoke to Dale about the picture, and he said that Commander was being playful, and there was no bite, no pressure of teeth on his skin, no mark — just some dog slobber."

Commander, aged two, was a gift to the US President from James and Sara Biden, his brother and sister-in-law. He first came to the White House on 20 December&nbsp;2021.

Dog's day out: Joe Biden's canine Commander removed from White House after 11 biting incidents

Major news ahead - quite literally! United States President-elect Joe Biden is set to take over presidential duties on January 20, after a long-drawn attempt by incumbent President Donald Trump to derail the election results by repeatedly reiterating his false claims of a "stolen election".

Biden is expected to take over the duties with a big ceremony slated for this month, but he is not the only one set to receive a grand ceremony. The family's rescue dog - Major is set to receive an inauguration, errr, indoguration of his own.

Major was adopted by the Biden family in November 2018 from the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) situated in Wilmington. Major's induction into the White House marks the first rescue dog to grace the halls of the presidential residence. The family's other dog, Champ will also join Major.

The "indoguration" will be hosted by Major's former home on Zoom, to celebrate the feat - the first rescue dog to reach the coveted residence ever. With the ceremony, they intend to raise more money for other dogs like Major.

DHA has referred to the inauguration as the "world's largest virtual party for dogs", and they have urged dogs and their families to attend the ceremony.

TV personality Jill Martin will host&nbsp;the event, which will also be attended by Sir Darius Brown, a 14-year-old entrepreneur and animal advocate.

That's not all! Major will get a cabinet of his own, just like his human Joe Biden. Ahead of the event, dog families can nominate their animals to be part of Major's Cabinet as "Secretary of Rescue Dogs". The winner will be chosen by Brown himself. 
 
In a newsletter, the shelter expressed how Major Biden is "barking proof that every dog can live the American dream".

To join the event, the DHA is asking for a $10 donation (or more). All proceeds from the event will go to the shelter.
