Some members of Biden's team have been attempting to blame Secret Service agents for the dog's aggressive behavior, asserting that Commander goes after security personnel because they appear unfriendly.
However, these new photos reveal that Commander bit another staff member just two weeks ago, and they clearly were not a Secret Service agent.
Daily Mail says these pics (snapped by a tourist) show Biden's dog Commander "sinking his teeth" into a grounds keeper. Uh, someone at DM is smoking crack with Hunter Biden, because it looks like he's playing with the guy. pic.twitter.com/5Flvaff7VQ

From Daily Mail UK:
The staff member, Dale Haney, 71, is not part of Biden's security team and was simply playing with the dog.
The images obtained by DailyMail.com, show the dog sinking his teeth into the arm of lanyard-wearing Haney, the superintendent of the White House grounds, in the White House gardens on September 13.
The moment was captured by a tourist in the White House gift shop who unwittingly caught the bite on camera while taking pictures of the dog.
The visitor who asked not to be named recalled: 'I was really just wanting to take pictures of the dog, it's the next best thing to seeing the president after all.
'Commander was bouncing around. He seemed very lively, high spirited and playful. He's a good-looking dog.
'I only realized he had actually bitten the groundskeeper who was out there with him later when I saw the picture with his teeth quite clearly round the man's wrist and arm.'
Hane, who has worked at the White House for more than 50 years often walks presidential pets on the grounds, starting with Richard Nixon's Irish Setter King Timahoe.
Clearly, Commander has some pent-up energy that is not being properly addressed by Biden or his team.
This poor animal needs to be with a young, energetic person, not someone who appears to be literally on their deathbed.
