The first dog did indeed bite someone in the White House, causing a “minor injury”, confirmed press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday.
The first Champ and Major dogs were sent back to the Biden family home in Wilmington, Delaware this week, but Psaki denied that they were banned for bad behavior. She said the trip was “pre-planned”, as First Lady Jill Biden is on a three-day trip to the West Coast, so the animals will be looked after by a friend.
Psaki said the two Biden German shepherds “are still getting used to and getting used to their new environment and new people”.

She said the Major, 3, whom the Bidens adopted from a shelter in 2018, “was surprised by an unknown person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual, who was treated by the White House medical unit without further ado. necessary treatment. “
Biden fractured his foot playing with Major in November.

Champ is the oldest of the two at 13 and has been part of the Biden family since 2008.
“The dogs are coming back to the White House soon,” Psaki told reporters. She assured that Major would not be sacrificed for his behavior, as he is “a member of the Biden family”.
The dogs officially moved to the White House on January 25, after spending the first week of the Biden government at the Delaware home.

Psaki was also asked when the United States would see the first cat, as promised in November.
“Today is a good day for the cat,” she said. “I don’t have any updates on the cat. We know that the cat is going to break the internet, but I don’t have any updates on its status.”
