Old and busted: Man bites dog.

New hotness: Bibi’s dog bites 2 people

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recently adopted dog Kaiya has sunk her teeth into her new position, biting two visitors at an event on Wednesday, including the husband of the deputy foreign minister.

At a candle-lighting ceremony to mark the Jewish festival of Hannukah, the 10-year-old mixed breed also took a snip at a member of parliament from Netanyahu’s Likud party.

Knesset Member Sharren Haskel, a veterinary nurse, dismissed the incident, telling Army Radio it was “trivial”.

Netanyahu’s son took the dog in from a rescue home earlier this year. The prime minister posted a picture on Twitter in August urging dog-lovers to seek out adult canines to adopt, saying “You won’t regret it!”.

Kaiya has met several dignitaries, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Kerry is believed to have escaped unharmed.

This report was brought to you by Luke Baker of Reuters. Yeah, this guy – who besides being heavily biased against Israel, fancies himself as quite the comedian.

I’m guessing it’s a play on the word “territory”, knowing this piece-of-work’s “work.”

Meanwhile, as Israelis are being stabbed and run down in cars, Baker writes about Israel’s “lethal response.” And the PM’s dog’s biting problem.
