Barney’s bite
Another pet of President Bush made the news when he bit Reuters political reporter Jon Decker at the White House. Decker spotted Barney and when he reached out to pet him, the dog bit the reporter. Barney bit Celtics public relations director Heather Walker during the world champions’ visit with the president.
“I couldn’t believe the president’s dog bit me,” Walker, a Salem resident, was quoted by the Salem News as saying.
