This isn’t the first time Major has “nipped” someone. Earlier this month, CNN reported that Major had bitten an unidentified White House security employee.

Joe Biden delivers remarks on the COVID-19 response

President Joe Biden’s dog, Major, has been on quite a tear lately leading to a few biting incidents. 

On Tuesday, a White House spokesperson confirmed to TMZ that Major bit someone while he was out on a walk.

“Major is still adjusting to his new surroundings and he nipped someone while on a walk,” the spokesperson explained. “Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by [White House Medical Unit] and then returned to work without injury.”

This isn’t the first time Major has “nipped” someone. Earlier this month, CNN reported that Major had bitten an unidentified White House security employee. Major bit the agent’s hand, and unlike the latest incident, the employee didn’t require medical attention.

Major Biden update: a Secret Service official tells me the dog “nipped” an agent’s hand and “no skin was broken.”This source describes it as “an extremely minor injury.”
The agent continued to work yesterday after the incident and has continued to work since then.

Initially, it was reported that both Major and the Biden’s other German Shepard, Champ, were returned to the family home in Delaware following the incident and other “aggressive behavior.” Yet, First Lady Jill Biden’s spokesman Michael LaRosa clarified the pets’ departure.

The two German Shepherds belonging to President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were returned to the Biden family home in Delaware last week after aggressive behavior at the WH involving Major Biden, two sources with knowledge tell CNN’s @KateBennett_DC.

“With the First Lady traveling for three days, Champ and Major went to Delaware to stay with family friends,” LaRosa said before it was confirmed that they would return to the White House.
