As I’m sure you’ve seen today, President Joe Biden’s “First Dog” Major Biden has found himself in the spotlight of today’s news cycle thanks to an apparent “aggressive incident.”
CNN reported this morning that the youngest of the two Biden pooches had what one White House insider described as a “biting incident” with a member of White House security, resulting in the two dogs being returned to the Biden family home in Delaware last week. The report noted that the condition of the employee affected by the incident was still unknown, but the situation was bad enough that the dogs were removed from the White House and returned to Wilmington, Deleware where they’re currently residing.
Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the news without naming the individual who was affected:
[Champ and Major] are still getting acclimated and accustomed to their surroundings and new people. And on Monday, the first family’s younger dog, Major, was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual.”
All in all, the whole ordeal was barely newsworthy. Major is a dog, not a human, and dogs react in different ways when they’re in different environments. But tell that to the Conservative news crowd.
During this afternoon’s press briefing, the New York Post brought up the situation with Psaki once again, this time daring to ask whether or not the pooch would be euthanized over the ordeal.

The only possible response to that would be “And that was your one question you wanted to ask in front of the world press, congratulations, and also, no. Next?” https://t.co/QbzPs0MkAF

The reporter is @stevennelson10 and works for (surprise!), @nypost . Retweet and demand he apologize, if not be fired. This is a new low for reporters in the Briefing Room. Kudos to @PressSec for keeping her cool, as she always does/ https://t.co/KStLGfxaka
