Biden’s dog Commander bites Secret Service agent again — marking 11th attack by first dog

President Biden’s dog Commander attacked yet another Secret Service agent Monday — marking the 11th known time the 2-year-old canine chomped down on the Executive Mansion’s staff.

“Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a first family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex,” USSS chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi told CNN in a statement.

The agent is reportedly in good condition and has since spoken with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the incident.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The latest bite comes just two months after shocking internal Secret Service records revealed what an aggressive and violent nuisance the young pup has been.

Commander attacked personnel on at least 10 other occasions at the White House and in Delaware between October 2022 and January 2023, sending at least one agent to the hospital with lacerations on his arm and thigh.

Seven of the German shepherd’s victims were bitten within a four-month span just after first dog Major was ousted from the White House over similar bad behavior.

Commander, a gift from Biden’s brother James Biden and sister-in-law Sara Biden, was welcomed the same day Major was given to family friends after biting many Secret Service members in 2021.

Many of the Secret Service agents reported being attacked without provocation, with multiple desperately grabbing nearby objects such as chains and chairs to block the dog from inflicting further damage.

The 11 documented attacks are likely just the tip of the iceberg for the dog’s disturbing behavior — the internal correspondence didn’t include Commander’s first nine months at the White House or the last nine months of 2023.

“I would’ve never dreamt that an alligator would be in this area,” Williams said. “Of course, I know there’s a lake across the street, and I know about the lake in Taylor Park, but not in this neighborhood. No, I would have never thought that.”
