WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s puppy Commander will make his TV debut on Super Bowl Sunday.

The German shepherd will appear with Biden’s wife, Jill, in a video message about pet love during Sunday’s broadcast of “Puppy Bowl XVIII” on Animal Planet. The first lady’s office tweeted the video Thursday.

Both contests will be held on the day before Valentine’s Day, which is Monday.

“Hi there. I’m Jill Biden, here at the White House with our new puppy Commander,” the first lady says. “You know, Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays because it’s all about love.”

The first lady, wearing a gray turtleneck sweater with “AMOUR” in pink letters across the front, is seated in the White House movie theater with Commander by her side.

“What’s so wonderful about having pets is they bring us unconditional love, joy and comfort every day,” she adds. “All of us are wishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day.”

1. I know their elderly dog passed away. What happened to the one that was

removed from the WH for "biting"?

I put "biting" in quotes, because I don't think he broke skin in either case.
But, after the second incident, I think both dogs were removed?

I hope he wasn't put down.

Nipping is one of dogs' few ways of showing they are upset and uncomfortable.
A full grown GSD would do serious damage if it were to bite for real, and he never did.

5. The chaos of the White House was just too much

He was a rescue, unclear what he may have gone through, and it was decided he needed a calmer home life.

7. Yes.

“He was a rescue” so surely that means something. Boils my blood.

Aren’t we all essentially mutts? I don’t give up on family!

9. I'm with you!

Every critter I’ve ever had has been a rescue.

A couple screwed up at times, but I wouldn’t ever have gotten rid of them. As far as I’m concerned, the animal, especially a dog, takes their cues from their people.
