White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki commented on the incident with the attack of the dog of US President Joe Biden on a person. She announced this on the air of the MSNBC TV channel.
According to her, the president's shepherds – Champ and Major – are just getting used to their new home and environment. She explained that the security officer took Major by surprise, and he “slightly injured” the person. The guard did not need hospitalization, he was assisted by a staff doctor at the White House.
“Major and Champ are beloved members of the Biden family and the White House,” Psaki assured.
On November 30, 2020, Joe Biden was injured while playing with the Major. Computed tomography confirmed two fractures of Biden's leg. He was diagnosed with filamentous fractures of the lateral and middle sphenoid bones of the foot. The president later revealed the details of playing with the dog, which led to the injury. So, he ran after Major, who caught the ball, in order to jokingly grab his tail, but the dog slipped on the wet floor, and Biden stumbled.
