[Animals] 'Major is still adjusting': New White House trouble hounds Biden's dog

President Joe Biden's dog Major has been involved in a second biting incident at the White House, NBC News has confirmed. "Major is still adjusting to his new surroundings and he nipped someone while on a walk. Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by the White House Medic Unit and then returned to work without injury," said Jill Biden's press secretary, Michael LaRosa. The incident, which was first reported by CNN, is the second nipping incident for the Bidens' rambunctious 3-year-old German shepherd. He "nipped" a Secret Service agent's hand earlier this month. "No skin was broken," a Secret Service official said at the time, describing the injury as "extremely minor." Afterward, Major and the Biden's other German shepherd, Champ, 12, briefly returned to the Bidens' home in Wilmington, Delaware, where Major got some additional training. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the Wilmington trip had been planned because Jill Biden was traveling and that it wasn't punishment for Major.
