The president’s youngest German shepherd is out of the dog house and back at the White House.

Both of the president and first lady’s dogs returned to Washington after Major spent some time working with a trainer at the Bidens’ Delaware home.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the two dogs were still getting acclimated to their new surroundings at the White House when Major “was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual.”

President Joe Biden previously said Major wasn’t sent to Delaware because of the incident and the move was planned because he and the first lady were going to be traveling.

Major is the first shelter dog to live in the White House.

Champ, the Bidens’ older dog, has been with the family since 2008.
