White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Tuesday afternoon that President Joe Biden’s two german shepherds traveled to Delaware after Major, the younger of the two dogs, injured an unspecified person that Psaki said he failed to recognize. 

Psaki said Major and Champ, the other dog, are still getting accustomed and acclimated to their new life at the White House, and that Major, the younger of the two, had been “surprised” by a new face on Monday. “Major was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual, which was handled by the White House medical unit with no further treatment needed,” said Psaki.
