Title: Bidens' dog Major involved in another biting incident
Post by: Wingnut on March 30, 2021, 09:21:01 pm
Time to put him down.

(CNN)The Bidens' dog Major has been involved in another biting incident that required medical attention, two people with knowledge of the incident tell CNN.

The incident, which involved a National Park Service employee, took place on the White House South Lawn on Monday afternoon. The employee was working at the time and needed to stop in order to receive treatment from the White House medical unit.
First lady Jill Biden's press secretary Michael LaRosa told CNN that Major is "still adjusting to his new surroundings."
"Yes, Major nipped someone on a walk. Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by WHMU and then returned to work without injury."
The National Park Service did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

Well the dog lovers (and I consider myself somewhat in that category) would just gripe if Biden had his biter dog put down. Really a no win situation. We already have one person equate the dog's live over humans on this thread (though it was funny).

Of course I will stand for the dog being a dog. Chewy is a little more even tempered, but any one of my Malamutes would not just nip you - They would take you out.

I get up on some hillbilly's porch and get a nip from his dog, that warrants a hard word at the dog and a 'Sorry about that' from the hillbilly, but nothing more. And that's alright. That's what dogs DO. Sooner or later me and that dog will see eye to eye - likely sooner as I ain't no threat to him and his. But that has to come from him - he is the guardian after all, and to do otherwise would be to dull his effect and create a vulnerability.

Same with Roundup, where there may be 10/12 dogs, all thrown together on what is unfamiliar land to most of em, with anyway half the other people and dogs being unfamiliar to them. They'll work together, but they guard their own. And until that all gets straight, which can take days, best to let that dog figure it out. And if there is a nip or two, that's alright. That's just warning.

Same with barnyard dogs. Don't get out of the truck if someone ain't there to call em off. You might be alright, but then again, you might not.

I feel bad for the dog in that, no one else. Put me in a place I don't know, fill it with folks I don't know, all busy doing crap I don't know, and I might just bite someone too.

Report: Joe Biden’s Dog Major Involved in Second Biting Incident

Joshua Caplan 30 Mar 2021

One of the Biden family dogs — a three-year-old German shepherd named Major — was involved in a second biting incident at the White House, according to a Tuesday afternoon report.

CNN wrote:

Quote
The incident, which involved a National Park Service employee, took place on the White House South Lawn on Monday afternoon. The employee was working at the time and needed to stop in order to receive treatment from the White House medical unit. Asked about this latest episode, first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa told CNN: “Yes, Major nipped someone on a walk. Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by WHMU and then returned to work.”

On March 8, Major first found himself in the dog house after biting a Secret Service employee at the White House. The employee’s injury was concerning enough to require treatment from members of the White House medical team.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki later downplayed the injury as “minor,” saying the incident was due to Major “getting acclimated” to his new home. The German shepherd was “surprised by an unfamiliar person,” Psaki added. Following the incident, both Major and Champ — the Bidens’ other German shepherd — were sent to the president’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, but later returned to the White House.

Earlier this March, President Biden called Major a “sweet dog” and said he was undergoing training.

“You turn a corner, and there’s two people you don’t know at all. And [Major] moves to protect,” said Biden. “But he’s a sweet dog. Eighty-five percent of the people there love him,” the president told ABC News. “He just — all he does is lick them and wag his tail. But … I realize some people, understandably, are afraid of dogs to begin with.”

However, as CNN previously reported, Major is known to “display agitated behavior on multiple occasions, including jumping, barking, and ‘charging’ at staff and security.”

Major was adopted by the Biden family in 2018.

If it's a dangerous dog, kill it.

It's not a question of if it's the dog's fault or not.   Besides, it's a Democrat dog and nothing good can come of that.

That's just dumb. At least a dog gives warning. He's hackled up, his head is low, his ears are back.

You want something that'll take a hunk out of you for no reason and with no warning? Try a horse. I been hard-bit WAY more by horses and mules than I ever have by dogs... And it usually comes with a good stomping too.

Nobody says the horse needs put down. Go figger.

This dog is a rescue..did they know the dogs past?

We rescued a cocker years ago when by boys were little..the shelter said she was a sweet little thing and the original owners just couldn't afford to take care of her.

Well she started biting just about everyone including me...took her to the Vet and she tried to bit him..lol..he suggested we get rid of her before she bites some young child and we get sued..back to the shelter she went...I never followed up on her to see what happened to her...but as the Vet said she was probably abused by her original owners and she didn't trust people.

So if you rescue an animal please find out why they were turned over to a shelter...

There again - there is a difference between a nip and a bite. Best dog I ever had was Duke... He was a shepherd Dane mix who wandered into our life when I was a kid. HUGE dog... You could ride him. Well, wait... !YOU! could not ride him. But kids could.

Totally safe with kids. When the supper call came, he took the whole herd of the neighbor kids home and made sure they got there, and then he'd come on back home.
 
He guarded and herded us kids like a pro. Never been safer in my life. NOTHING would get past Duke to those kids and he proved on that twice. But don't get to fighting, or even tussling with Duke around. He'll come nip you right on your ass till you straighten up and fly right. And every kid knew it was coming, as did their folks. And he'd never actually hurt a one of them kids.

Folks have got it in their head that a nip IS a bite, and that's just bullcrap. It's getting to where folks have forgotten a friendship that has lasted millennia, expecting a dog to be a hoomin these days.

Sorry...not finding legal definitions for "nip" and "bite" in my local Animal Control Ordinances, so it's effectively the same thing.  Stupid or ignorant, one of them there.  Bureaucrats infest our government, and they are less bright than the dogs under discussion.

I love my kitties...they're really good at staying away from icky humans.  They can put on a lot more hurt than a mere Rottweiler.

Keep looking. You'll find one, or more. I've lost too many myself. I'm down to Molly a 14 yr old Rott/Shepherd mix as my only outside dog and 2 inside dogs. I've had up to 6 dogs total for a good while. All but one were rescue dogs. When my daughter was working at Pet Paradise, she got talked into taking in Chico, a deer chihuahua. A grandmother had brought him in fearful for his life when one of their other dogs was killed.  Of course they neglected to tell my daughter where the family lived. Turns out they lived only about 3 blocks down from us.  Turns out the kids were fine with us having their Rosco once they saw him in our yard.

Up until now our most loved dog was a Newfie/Lab mix. But now we have a Basenji/Jack Russell mix that has really worked into our hearts. Our Chihuahua thinks he owns the whole neighborhood.

Though there are a few exceptions,  (from a earlier  repeated post), agressive dogs are reflective of how the owner either trained or treated their canine. Biden is as irresponsible as a POTUS as he is a pet owner.

Not a lot of information about the  "Nip".  On Major's walk, was he on a leash? If he was that sounds bad. If he was off leash, did Major just run up and Nip the agent? Or did Major run up to the agent and then the agent kicked at the dog? There are a lot of people in this world that don't have a lick of dog sense.

This is a rescue dog, thereby necessitating a certain level of “dog sense”. Given the right owner and the right parameters, this dog may flourish.
We had a dog, a wonderful family dog, who did not like men in uniforms. Women in uniforms were fine. Men not in uniforms were fine. I trusted him completely with our young children; with the  UPS man, not so much. So we never allowed him access to the UPS man.

Major was rescued?   That puts everything in new light.   All my dogs were rescued from some situation or other.  Some of them had dangerous attitudes.

All I rescue have been Siberian huskies, more or less.   One spent eight years in some house where the people clearly screamed at her and terrorized her.   When we took her to the dog park one of us had to stand with her to make sure nobody tried to pet the beautiful blue-eyed gray husky that was sniffing their knee.   She did not tolerate touching.  She was terrifying and would nip instantly with no warning.   And people expect huskies to be friendly.   But once she learned her new family was nothing but nice to her, she was the sweetest thing...to us.

And then there's the Seppala Siberian Sled Dog we rescued from the shelter.   Fastest dog you ever saw, and tremendous endurance.   And occasionally aggressive.   Always have to pull his leash short when people are walking by....sometimes he just starts going after them.   Don't know what triggers him.   

So if they have strangers (to the dog) taking care of him now, as presidents always do, Major is just confused and needs more care.   I don't think this is an issue we need to blame that demented idiot in the White House for, it's not really an important issue and IMO it's going to come up when the media wants to distract from the demented idiot's crimes against America.

Major

Major (born January 2018) was a rescue from a litter that had been exposed to "something toxic" in their home,[2] and their owner was unable to afford the expense of veterinary care for them.[7][5] He was fostered by the Bidens earlier that year from the Delaware Humane Association's shelter and has been with them since late 2018.

I actually have sympathy for this dog. He sounds like a fear biter to me. I inherited a GS that had the same affliction and never overcame it. I took her fear into account. The difference being...she wasn't around strangers. This poor dog is.

Biden should keep dog Major away from people after 2nd bite: lawyers

By Evie Fordham | Fox News 3/31/2021

Quote
Washington, D.C., law is strict on dog owners who know their dog has had at least one biting incident in the past.

"The one feature of Washington, D.C. dog bite law, and it’s relevant to the Major Biden story, it’s called the one-bite rule," Cooper said. "If the dog bites someone after it has already shown that it will bite someone, then there is presumed negligence on the owner of the dog."

D.C. law defines a "potentially dangerous dog" as a dog that "without provocation, chases or menaces a person or domestic animal in an aggressive manner, causing an injury to a person or domestic animal that is less severe than a serious injury." Dangerous dogs can be put down by the city under certain circumstances.

Monday’s incident was the second time Major bit someone at the White House in less than a month. On March 8, Major sank his teeth into a Secret Service employee, who also required attention from the White House medical unit. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki referred to that incident as "minor."

Now they are saying that he is pooping on the carpet in the White House. The dog, not Shortbus Joe. Though I wouldn't be s'prised if Gaffe Machine Joe has left a present for the cleaning crew here or there hisself.

 :pop41:

Well, should Sloe Joe 'let loose' at least he can blame it on the dog.

Nothing covers that hole like another dog @corbe ... I have learned that much. Takes me about 2 weeks or so, and I'll have another.

I had a friend who had one cat in her life, and when it died she said she was never ever going to get another animal.

When I had to euthanize my poor elderly rescue husky, and was left with only two, less than a month later I was trolling the shelters and got another, a 10 month old black-and-white husky with the fluffiest butt ever.   She's a gorgeous girl.

It's what you do.   People are supposed to know they 're going outlive their dogs before they get them, unless the person is fairly old themselves.  What would life be without huskies?  Boring.

  @roamer_1 and @Sled Dog Thank you, sincerely, for your thoughts and concern.  I am going to look at Sampson tomorrow, he's at our local kill shelter. Daschund/chihuahua mix, about 6 years old. I'll give them an extra $100 to NOT cut his balls off.

Pretty much.
I am prone to Wolf/Malamute with just a touch of G. Shepherd. Hella good mountain dogs. Pack a load, pull a sled, and will kick the crap out of a griz just for giggles. And smart enough to understand.

But such a mutt will be no good in a kennel or a yard. That's the sort that needs a five mile run every other day just to keep him sane.

Since I been stove up, I have made due with a cow dog. And he's smart and communicates alright - and he's fine with a half acre of yard. Heck he runs like a bucket of bricks...

But he is handy at the ranch, and he knows all the critters by name... I send him down alone to bring em up for feed, or he can cut the one I call for and bring just that one... Super good on a whistle or a sign, and he's been a good friend in a time of trial.

But I DO miss my malamute talking to me. Singing with the wolves and coyotes...  There just can't be the dimensions in the relationship with a cow dog that there are with a mountain dog. It just ain't no where near the same thing.

Ol Chewy is getting long in the tooth these days. Been with me ever since before my illness. And I am holding off getting a new pup, with the thought in mind that I will get back up over three miles a day... If I can go a bit, you can bet I will have another malamute on the way.

Hope you know somebody... Up here you gotta slip em out the back and he officially goes on the euthanized list... that's how they get to keep their nuts around here... But it would cost me a fitty.

   @mystery-ak The girl I talked to at the Shelter today said he was very quiet and reserved, it's maybe the environment (Rehab is hell) or it may be the Daschund in him.
   There is one 'shaky' applicant ahead of me for Sampson.

   My local shop I have experience with, they are SPCA, they kill Animals.  Sampson is probably some Houstonian's dog that came here like everyone else, came on vacation with his owners but only he would up incarcerated. Probably went after some Deer and they gave up and went back home. 
   I'm certainly ready for the challenges, my cat is even beginning to fall in love with me and that is starting to worry me.

That’s quite impressive. Well-trained dogs and a well-trained horse.

THAT was a thing of beauty. Of course Chew ain't anywhere near there. Funny the lexicon is nearly the same. Though up in here we use gee and haw for direction and git em would be push em... But away is the same, bring em or come is the same.

But yeah. Chew knows all that and will work with a team - but not with that exactitude. That was precise and them pups all know each other. Fielding with diverse cowboys all of em with a dog of their own, works a mite different.

Thanks for that/

Did you get a Worm? Or you still looking for a dog?

Last nite we picked up a companion, Sadie, for Molly.
