They're both described as "ready to work," but Hurricane "enjoys playing with his Kong toy" while Jordan likes "walks around the White House."

Dominic Adesanya, 23, climbed the north fence of the White House early Wednesday evening. The dogs were released and caught Adesanya, who kicked one dog and punched the other. The Secret Service said Adensaya was immediately taken into custody by Secret Service K-9 teams and uniformed division officers.
