PHOTO OF Biden with DOG Posted today
Joe Biden shared an image Monday afternoon of him on the White House balcony on the phone with his dog Commander lounging on the couch next to him as he continues to isolate following his COVID diagnosis.
'Took some calls this morning with man's best co-worker,' Biden wrote along with the image.

The president, wearing aviators and a blue suit, held a wired phone to his ear and seemed to be looking in the direction of his German Shepherd dog.
Biden's COVID symptoms have 'almost completely resolved' only four days after testing positive, White House Physician Kevin O'Connor said in an update Monday.
The president, Dr. O'Connor said, still has some 'residual nasal congestion and minimal hoarseness' but does not require any oxygen assistance.
'His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air,' O'Connor wrote. 'His lungs remain clear.'
Biden's tweet providing the latest image and attempts to provide proof he is working through his diagnosis comes after another post from his POTUS account that is earning some roasting for misspelling 'person.'
'At current prices, the average driver will spend $35 less per month for one peson (sic),' a graphic shared by the president's account reads.
The accompanying caption with the graphic reads: 'For American families looking for a little more breathing room, these savings matter.'
Biden will continue to take the antiviral medication of PAXLOVID as previously prescribed and is 'tolerating treatment well.'
O'Connor said the president will continue to isolate and is 'specifically conscientious to protect any staff' whose duties require any proximity to him – even if it is socially distanced at six-feet.
Since Thursday, Biden has engaged in meetings virtually and skipped out on a weekend trip to his home in Wilmington, Delaware to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on isolation.
No new images were released of Biden over the weekend, but White House aides say he is showing 'more energy' since the Thursday positive test.
