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!”

The Clinton, Connecticut man this week posted a YouTube video showing him using a drone equipped to shoot flames to roast a turkey in a wooded area of his family’s backyard.
Police said they were looking into the matter, but the man’s father said the aerial turkey roast was carried out safely.
