Someone’s in the dog house at the White House.

A friend who was visiting the Obamas was bitten in the face by the First Family’s dog, Sunny, leaving the woman to get stitched up, TMZ reported.

Sunny, a female Portuguese water dog, chomped on the unidentified 18-year-old as she went to pet and kiss the adorable 4-year-old pooch on Monday.

The young woman was left bloodied on her right cheek and had to get stitches. She was upset after learning the wound might leave a small scar – but is otherwise fine.

TMZ said the woman shared pictures of the attack – which shows a trail of blood running down her cheek – on social media.

Sunny is one of two dogs the Obamas own. Their other Portuguese water dog, Bo, an 8-year-old male, enjoys the title of “First Dog.”

The White House hasn’t commented on the incident.

“Porties” are typically known to be athletic, family-friendly pups that get along well with children and other pets.

Bo was given to the Obamas as a gift from the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.

The last time a presidential dog attacked was in 2008, when George W. Bush’s Scottish terrier, Barney, snapped at Reuters TV reporter Jon Decker.
