Wherever Ireland President Michael Higgins goes, it is always a possibility that he is with his dog, Misneach. The dog has already built a reputation for stealing the show from President Higgins.
But even with this reputation, President Higgins seems to have no problem with it. This is because the dog knows how to do it in a fun way.
Misneach made headlines when he tried to get the attention of his dad while delivering a tribute. President Higgins was reading his farewell speech to deceased actor Tom Hickey when the incident happened.
At the start of the speech, the dog was well-behaved and seemed to listen to what his owner was saying. However, it was the complete opposite from a different angle.
As President Higgins was giving his high salutes to Tom, the dog was licking and nibbling his hand. But even with this distraction from his dog, President Higgins kept a straight face. Apart from this, the Ireland leader managed to finish the tribute despite Misneach’s misdemeanor.
While the President seemed undisturbed by the dog’s gesture, Misneach continued bothering his fur parent. The hilarious footage then made waves online after it was uploaded. It then generated traction from people from all walks of life, especially dog lovers.
Other dog lovers even shared the same experiences they had with their dogs, but these were all said in jest. According to these dog lovers, Misneach’s gesture made them remember the hilarious things their dogs also did to them during important occasions.
But like President Higgins, these dog owners admitted that they likewise acted calmly. President Higgins himself shared the video on his TikTok page, which dispelled the rumors that he got irritated with Misneach.
In his previous interview, President Higgins mentioned that he adopted Misneach after his long-time dog passed away. The President loves to take care of more than one dog to keep himself busy and happy.
