President Joe Biden's dog Commander bit US Secret Service agents on at least 24 occasions, new documents show.
US Secret Service records show the extent to which the German Shepherd caused chaos for the presidential bodyguards.
One senior agent noted the bites meant the Secret Service changed tactics, advising agents to "give lots of room".
The warning came months before Commander was removed from the White House.
The documents were revealed through Freedom of Information requests and posted online. They are heavily redacted to protect the identity of Secret Service agents and secrecy of their security tactics.
They show at least 24 biting incidents took place between October 2022 and July 2023, including members of the Secret Service being bitten on the wrist, forearm, elbow, waist, chest, thigh and shoulder.
The documents do not necessarily record all biting incidents related to Commander, as they only cover the Secret Service and not others that work in the White House or staff at Camp David in Maryland.
