The two German Shepherds belonging to US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were sent back to the family home of the Bidens in Delaware last week after aggressive behaviour by one of them. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, however, said that the dogs- Major and Champ- were shipped off to the first family's hometown only because the first lady was travelling for three days.

CNN reported that Major, who was adopted by the President in 2018 from a Delaware animal shelter, had what one of the people described as a "biting incident" with a member of White House security.US The exact condition of the victim is unknown, however, the episode was serious enough that the dogs were subsequently moved to Wilmington, Delaware, where they remain. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Major caused an injury to an unnamed individual.
