Netanyahu’s Dog Sinks Teeth Into Guests

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Kaiya, the family dog of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, has been photographed with visiting leaders and petted by top foreign guests, including Secretary of State John Kerry. But it became painfully clear this week that Kaiya does not accept affection from just anyone.

Mr. Netanyahu announced Friday on Facebook that under Israeli law he had to quarantine Kaiya, a 10-year-old mix with black eyes and fluffy fur, after she bit two guests, including a member of Parliament from his own Likud Party, attending a Hanukkah candle-lighting party at his Jerusalem residence on Wednesday.

And as it turns out, this was not the first time Kaiya, a rescue dog, had sunk her teeth into humans. Kaiya bit the prime minister five months ago, the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported, and he had to get a rabies shot.

For Mr. Netanyahu, the respite of the Hanukkah party was not the most opportune moment for Kaiya to misbehave.

1. I would think that it was the other way around.

The dog would need a rabies shot after biting Netanyahu.
