WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden’s younger dog, Major, is back at the White House after extra training – including spending time with some cats – to address biting incidents, first lady Jill Biden said in an NBC interview broadcast on Friday.

Major, a German Shepherd rescue, received training outside the White House this month after two biting incidents.

“He’s back,” Jill Biden said in the interview, conducted on Thursday. “He is such a sweet, lovable dog, he really is.”

The Bidens are expecting to bring a cat – a female – into their fold soon, she said, and Major has been prepped for that.

“That was part of his training, they took him into a shelter with cats,” she said. “He did fine.”
