Washington D.C. - Barney, the President’s beloved Scottish Terrier, bit a reporter on his way to the White House briefing room today.
Jon Decker, a reporter for Rueters, asked the handler if it was ok to pet Barney and was told yes. When he did, the dog bit his right index finger and broke the skin.
“I just wanted to pet barney. My mom has a scottish terrier. I wanted to
pet barney and unfortunately he was not in the mood to be pet,” said Decker afterward.
A White House physician prescribed antibiotics as a precaution and recommended Decker get a tetanus shot.
