This is what Elizabeth Alexander, director of communications for the first lady, considered months ago. Jill Bidenwhich had described the White House environment as “a unique and often stressful environment” for pets.
The unruly pets of the Biden family
Due to episodes with similar characteristics, Majoranother German shepherd who accompanied the Biden family, was removed from the White House and sent to Delaware for special training before returning to the complex.
White House officials argued at the time that the bites given out by Major were due to the fact that Major was in the process of “adapting” to his environment.
Some time after being separated he returned to the government house, but incidents occurred again, for which he was retired “definitively.”
The only one who keeps peace in the White House seems to be Willowa 3-year-old cat that the Biden family adopted in 2022 and would stay away from “the problems” caused by the deranged German shepherds.
