President Joe Biden's dogs, who were sent home to Delaware after Major, the younger one, injured a Secret Service agent, are roaming the White House again.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at the Wednesday briefing that the dogs met the Bidens last weekend at Camp David in Maryland and came back to Washington on Sunday.

While in Delaware, Biden's home state, Major received some additional training. In Washington, he had been startled by the Secret Service agent, who received a minor injury in the fracas.

One of the dogs — both are German shepherds — waited on the balcony of the White House on Tuesday evening as Marine One landed on the South Lawn, having ferried the president back from a speech in Columbus, Ohio.

"The dogs will come and go and it will not be uncommon for them to head back to Delaware on occasion, as the president and first lady often do as well," Psaki said.
