Unprovoked?

 As of yesterday at least twenty of the Kids in the House had either introduced articles of impeachment (some of them divinely inspired) or called for Joe Biden to resign.  Among other crimes (being Hunter's dad, adding jobs to the economy every month, being eighty, supporting Ukraine, flagrant Democrat-ing), he owns an unruly dog.

Commander, a two-year-old German shepherd, stands accused of biting either seven or ten Secret Service agents over four months.  (This comes from Judicial Watch via the New York Post, so take it with some skepticism.)  One of his predecessors, Major, was given away after a couple of biting incidents, but neither of them was apparently considered an impeachable offense.  I think I see a pattern.  I'm not a trainer or a vet, but hear me out.

"Dog whistle" is not just a political expression; dogs really can hear things we can't.  That Commander and Major went for the Secret Service exclusively suggests that they are responding to the radios all agents wear in their ears, or rather, to the high frequency they use.  It drives them crazy.  Sending Commander away for more training won't help as long as he returns to the high-stress environment of the White House.  You can train a dog to do all manner of things, but you can't train him not to hear.

Of course other dogs have lived there, but shepherds are bred as attack dogs.  This is why you never see police setting poodles on unarmed Black people.  Commander probably thinks people are menacing his master with ultra-high frequency noises.  (Now I come to think of it, didn't George W. Bush have a Scottish terrier that bit at least one person?  Judicial Watch didn't find that worth reporting.)  I think the best solution is for Commander to live in Delaware and for the Secret Service to be made aware of canine physiology, so they minimize radio chatter in his vicinity.  

 

 I hope this helps.  He looks like a fine dog.
