    It’s weird that you are pretending a person that obviously had staff was the only caretaker of the pup.

    It’s also obvious that it would take a while to determine if a reactive dog is not making behavioral improvements.

      So which was it?

      It was his dog he spent time with like he said?

      Or it was a dog that had special White House staff most of the time?

      If he never spent time with it, why stick an abused rescue dog in a hectic environment creating danger for everyone involved? If it was just to humanize Biden for votes, doesn’t this throw all that out the window and show he lied?

      No matter how much you all try to have everything both ways, it doesn’t work out with logic.

      You can’t just define reality as whatever makes your team look best in the moment, keep that stupid shit on the Republican side

        I don’t know how much time he spent with the animal.

        If he was doing the right thing, he probably hired a trainer that works with reactive dogs. That’s not an instant process.

        It is a hectic environment, so it was probably difficult to narrow down the dogs specific triggers.

        You don’t seem like you’ve ever worked with anxious or reactive animals.

          “Despite additional dog training, leashing, working with veterinarians, and consulting with animal behaviourists, the White House environment simply proved too much for Commander,” a statement said.

          Oh so they did get a lot of different people in trying to find a solution, thought so
