One of the Bidens' two German Shepherds, three-year-old Major, will get "additional training" to help him adjust to life in the White House following two biting incidents in March, CNN White House correspondent Kate Bennett said, quoting the first lady's press secretary.
According to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, on 8 March, Major bit a member of the Secret Service after being "surprised by an unfamiliar person." On 29 March, the pooch bit a National Park Service employee while out on a walk.
Major's training will reportedly last a few weeks.
Major is the younger of the Bidens' two German Shepherds. The Bidens adopted him as a puppy from Delaware Humane Association in 2018. Their other dog, Champ, is 13 years old and had already spent some time in the White House while Biden was vice president.
