Obama's dog bites White House guest

Story on TMZ

I thought he’d bitten Trump when I read the headline. :slight_smile:

… Does note surprise me in the least- a lot of dogs do not react well when people get into their faces. It would be news if the President’s dog actually got consequences for its action, though.

The Secret Service wrestled the dog to the ground while squealing, “Oooh! You is a baaaad doggie! You is a bad doggie, yes you is! Yes you is!”

Obama will probably pardon Sunny. It’s all politics: petty criminals rot in jail and well-connected face-biting dogs run free on our streets.

I wonder how this would be covered by insurance, in case of a liability claim. The Obamas still own a house in Chicago, I believe, so they must have homeowners’ insurance on it. Would that cover them for something like this happening at the White House?

When we took a White House tour a few years ago a door opened and Bo was paraded out to walk past us, guided by a handler. It was obviously done for our amusement but most of the people on the tour were facing the wrong direction and they missed it completely.

We sustained no injuries.

That dog is a traditionalist, following in a long line of obstreperous, irritating, and dangerous presidential pets.

Generally speaking, if you shove your face into that of a strange dog’s, you are inviting a face bite. In dog language you are being extremely aggressive and threatening. That face lick you were hoping for is typically a submissive puppy-like “please don’t kill me, I’m innocent!” gesture.

People are really stupid about dogs.

Impeach that dog!

That would be rather unprecedented. Jimmy Carter didn’t even impeach that rabbit.

Meh, Portuguese Water Dogs have a “soft” bite anyway (at least Cooper does), plus, it takes a lot to get Cooper in a “bitey” mood, what did this guy do to get on her bad side?

Hell, Cheney shot a guy in the face and they didn’t put him down.
