Omg that’s true and it would be a fantastic movie!

Xd
Did you noticed the acorn?
The president of Ireland is a living, breathing Ghibli character.
I love MD Higgins whatever happens in this world we have him X 😊 o
Lol
The giant acorn really drives it home
1) Am Irish 2) I've met the Man, so I can confirm, He's fecking tiny 🤣

You can tell this is an everyday occurrence. The dog knows he can't resist the pet, and the person knows he can't either
Or he wants a snack (the dog)
😂😂
@@schorpioen7466 dog wants some Lucky Charms
That's Misneach, his pup. Misneach is pronounced 'mish nock'. It means 'courage'. He has another hooligan who also eats him alive. 🤣😂🤣 He's called Bród (meaning 'Pride') and he, too, is a Bernese Mountain Dog.
@@schorpioen7466 agreed, the doggo is looking for a treat in his pocket.
He looks exactly how you'd imagine the president of Ireland to look like.

He soo does 😂😂😂😂😂
He’s a figure head . Not the real leader
I agree but who is the dude in the suit
Haha. Yehhp. 😊.
He doesn't even bat an eye! Such a good doggo owner, the dog obvs LOVE him and he's continually touching the dog, while still remaining professional. Probs!
Exactly. And you have to be a nice man to raise such a good boy. Dogs have good instincts. If the dog likes him....
@@maaiker2977lol Hitler's dog loved him too. And guess what, dogs will kill other animals if they're small enough, and have fun doing it. They love toys that squeak when they bite them, because it simulates death squeals. They're carnivores. Their instincts tell them they must kill to live.
'You're tripping if you think dogs can "sense evil". They can sense aggression.
He might be the President of Ireland.....But pooch just wants the ball and treat 🐶 i have a jack russell she could nearly talk to me 🐕❤
One of the great things about dogs, they don’t care if you’re the President of Ireland. To the dog, you’re his human and buddy.
That's one reason dogs are generally good judges of character, their opinion is not swayed by profession/station etc. - you're a good person or not.
Because they are dumb
Isnt that the same for allanimals allthough some of then are hard to tame

@@juandiegofm yep we’re actually that small. My family actually lives inside an acorn, on the outskirts of oak tree glen. It’s very simple now, just a one up two down but it suits us just grand. 😁🍀

Irish person here, and yes, Michael D Higgins IS a lovely person, and a good president. He recently celebrated his 80th birthday.
The dog's name is Misneach (Mish-nock), which is Irish for courage, and she's also lovely.
Thanks for the info!
Tanks. People asking about the giant acorn. Is that Phoenix park?

@@nirmaniasha he definitely looks like Horace Slughorn
Narnia hahaha
He seems like a nice man. His dog clearly loves him. I loved how he gently held his paw for a little while. So sweet.
Agree! He's so confident that his dog won't bite him. Showing that they both love each other. ❤️❤️❤️
He's a super wise man too, very well spoken
why is he allowing his country to be destroyed by government tyranny?
Agree! It's like he's telling his doggie, "Now, now, Daddy's working now. Daddy will give you lots of hugs and kisses in a minute." Awww....such a sweet scene to witness.
@gi k Oh, how cute. Let's talk about an easy topic that we know nothing about but everyone will automatically agree with us. Intellectually shallow.
For anyone who’s not Irish, he has **two** Bernese Mountain dogs called Bród(pride) and Síoda(silk) and and they’re the absolute cutest. Síoda died recently, so he now has a five month old puppy called Misneach(courage)
How is he is a leader? I know that's a charged question considering all people know how to do is slander each other if their opinions differ but yeah, just judging off the dog (who are good indicators on a person's character) seems like a nice bloke
@@BasementBubbatunde so the president of Ireland is more like a ceremonial figure. He doesn’t have much power over laws and stuff, because the more political leader is the Taoiseach(prime minister). Michael D is literally beloved by everyone tho he’s so cute and an icon lol
@@aoifefitzgerald7379 Ohhhh okay I get it, makes sense now as I was surprised reading the Irish had a president lol. Glad that's cleared up for me 😂
But that's awesome hahaha, only took me this clip to like him and I'm on the other side of the world, if a Doggo gives you the tick of approval like that im not gonna argue with him lol
Síoda died back in September 😭 Rip she was a good girl
Super cool of you to give us the background on him and his dogs WITH the Gaelic words! Thank you very much for that 🙏🏽
The dog is adorable - and the fact that the guy isn't even bothered one bit about the dog's antics is absolutely precious!
(That ginormous acorn - only in Ireland...😂)
Casual refers to a president as 'that guy'
I KNOW ! was waiting for someone to mention the acorn... now I want one too 😏
exactly what i thought the pres of ireland would look like
😂🤣😩😩😩
Yup!😂
@Caius Iulis Caesar Octavianus Augustus Quiet down you simple fool.

I love how the president of Ireland is a cute lil old man with a playful dog. ❤️
He’s actually a lovely man , he is comical to look at & very witty in person , a very intelligent & interesting person , with a love for the Arts 🎭
Right,and getting a pile of cash for the trouble
He has a very tall Wizard friend as well
Petition for this man to be ceo of the world
I thought so too, but I somehow I can't escape the feeling that all that cuteness obscures a gentleman of piercing intellect.
The dog's actions show that the president is an excellent, kind hearted human being. I'm proud of him.
Our president is so kind
People can be kind to animals and cruel to other humans. Aka hitler
@@rotemta7 well yeah, but Mr. Higgins is just a sound lad.
That was the first thing that came to mind. He was sooooo kind to his dog. Some people whod have shouted at the dog or made them mgo away. THe dog wanted to enjoy being with his master and the master wanted the dog to enjoy being with him so he engaged with his dog. What a wonderful, relationship to watch. The dog seemed so very happy to be there and felt so free to play and be loved. What a kind, kind man. It was mezmerising to watch. Loved it.
the dog's actions? is it good behaviour in dog's when they chew on your hands? just a curious cat person here
It's honestly really impressive how he's able to focus both on giving a speech and giving his dog attention both at the exact same time.
@GR Liverpool that man is the pride of this country. If we didn't like him he wouldn't be president
@GR Liverpool You have Liverpool in your name. You are not Irish and you need to shove off cus it's none of your business
This president appears to be a master at multitasking. 10/10

How did the Irish get a president? Through British rule?
@@wickedpanik8304
WAW You're so uncultured, you don't know that only the north part of the island (Northern Ireland) is part of the UK. The rest is the Republic of Ireland. 🙄
Yes, exactly, @Karan Shah.
An old man in a green suit, a lone blue mic, a clearing in some forest, a hairy, very needy dog and a humongous acorn - Interesting indeed.
To be fair that forest is essentially his front lawn. Phoenix Park is fairly big
I didn't even spot the acorn until I read this! 😅
He is down to earth not like trump.
What if the acorn is normal and everything else is tiny?
How is Ireland even real lmaooo
He gives the vibe of that grandpa who loves his dog the most ♥️
The squirrel that put the acorn in the field back there must have been huge.
He's Frozen in ice 😅

Probably are the wrong side of the muschroom.
nmust have been quite some squarrel to do so
Honestly, I didn't notice it lol. I was fixated on the dog.
He’s also an absurdly popular president over here. He won his re-election by more than 50% against like 7 other candidates
They say animals don't lie about someone's character
Well of course he did, if he lost nobody would get to see his dog on tv anymore
Maybe we should have dogs do all the voting............at least give it a try
Like our President Trump!!
@@VardaoftheStars no no no
Hes like a parent trying to talk to another family member while his child is asking for something lmaoo

Lol fr I was thinking if the dog was a child he would be asking to go to the bathroom
I can just hear it too. “Dad! Daddy! Look at me. Hey! Dad!”
haha, this is so accurate. My son is like this as soon as ANYONE comes round the house.
Or just a toddler in general whenever they know they don't have their parent's attention. Haha
Actually the dog is the president and his human is just the translator.

This is Ireland’s magic at its finest The president himself, with the acorn in the background is “obviously” a chieftain leprechaun 🍀 who remains unperturbed by the call for attention of his assistant and loyal companion and with exemplary resilience manages to keep reciting his fabulous tales to his audience of elfs, gnomes and fellow leprechauns… absolutely fantabulous !
Creative.
Fun fact: The true leader of Ireland (Not the president, the president is only a figurehead) is called the Taoiseach, which is actually Irish for chieftain. Though, most non-Irish people just call him the Prime Minister.
Obviously petting and loving his dog is part of the President’s autonomic nervous system, whilst giving an interview takes in the moment thought. This guy is a dog lover! 🥳🐾
I had a friend who would sit in the back of the store and pat her son's dog, who was dropped off there several days a week, on the head while she was watching TV. It became a reflex action; her hand would be moving even when the dog wasn't there, as though she were petting an invisible dog!
You mean "autonomic," but okay, sure.

Apparently, the actual interview showed the President only as far as the microphone and you couldn't tell that he was being eaten alive at the time.
Exactly, as I am always the one of “everyone “😂
But maybe that's he's plan....
What is most telling, aside from the president’s composure and focus, is his loving tolerance for his buddy’s natural doggo behavior. Not one of his moves shows any annoyance whatsoever; no attempt to push him away or scold him. And clearly the doggo is used to chopping on his hand. I have an Australian Cattle Dog that does the same and attempts to lead me to what he wants - which is usually outside to throw the frisbee for him. LOL

"Compassion for animals is so intimately associated with goodness of character and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man."
-Arthur Schopenhauer
Absolutely true. In fact, I would pass a law requiring anyone in power to own a dog or cat and depending how they treated each other, it would affect how long they were in power. Lol
So true
Erm Hitler was really affectionate with his dog.
@@johnfurlong8301 I think he even passed a law that protected animals except humans.
He (Schopenhauer) was talking bout ANY kind of animals so basically, introduced philosophy to veganism. Being wonderful for dogs and still torturing animals in slaughter houses is just the hypocrisy. So I just wonder you include that too.
Personally I think dogs should always be included in stuff like this. Lightens the mood 😂😄
And makes politics fun. Maybe we should fill our senate chambers and house of parliament with dogs instead of politcians. Things will get better

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 President of Ireland is a largely ceremonial role. The real power lies with the Government run by the Taoiseacht (Prime Minister)
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Our president is kinda like a constitutional monarch, he is in-charge of our military and is head of state but the real power lies within the Taoiseach (Chief) and Tánaiste
@@Team-fabulous He is a member of the Labour Party and was a politician before being voted in and technically he still is
The man has some patience though. He continued his speech and never turned to the dog to ask him to stop or sit etc. Way to proof your self control. I would have been easily distracted tbh
he actually has 2 of them, one is an older dog and he made both sit a few mtrs behind him, this pup sneaked up mid speech 😂
@@Labs.Fishing.hunting 😂😂😂
He could look mean if he got irritated or the dog could just get even more excited to play when his owner turned to talk to him and this would be a complete embarrassment for the president
He just tried to ignore the dog and hoped he would stop. It didn't work though
@@99Gara99 Yeah but it is still a hard thing to do . On one side keep the dog entertained and play somehow with him and on the other hand keep the focus on the speech he was giving . I am telling you ,no way I could do that.
He was a great political debater, and honed his skills of concentration very well.
Irish people are so warm and down to earth. Loved the simplicity of the president. Love from a former British Colony. 🇮🇪❤️🇮🇪
I didn’t know Bilbo Baggins was the president of Ireland, but I’m here for it.
We call him Dobby here in Ireland.
😂😂😂😂
I'm Spanish and I don't know if Ireland's population feel proud of the president but... This man seems like a very good person, he's so sweet. And his dog... I FALL IN LOVE
We're very proud. He's a great man.
@@mbd6054 I bet he is very intelligent as well because he kept his focus on conversation despite the distraction,I'm 32 and I can't focus to save my life without any distraction😅he must have been a teacher or something(sorry that I don't know much about him)
@@sn6953 Poet, professor, politician, sports fan, speaks multiple languages, loves the Arts, environmentalist, with a huge sense of humour and wit. Loves his Country, and is much loved by the people. He is a real treasure.
@@mbd6054
he is nothing more than an huge expense lumped on the irish people.He is nothing more than a figure head to sign legislation into law ..NEVER ONCE HAS HE QUESTIONED ANY LEGISLATION.
@@sn6953. Not far off, he was a college lecturer.
I don't know but something about that president's velcro tennis shoes and his dog tell me he is a good guy!! Lol🤔
Ya that pups attitude tells me the same lol 😂
We may vote in bad governments but we vote in good presidents, most get two terms in office
Yep screams honesty 😂
And while he’s talking to the press - he’s mind melding with his doggy “ yes, yes, we’ll be off to Hogwarts castle in two shakes of a shillelagh”
Doggy is saying "Talk to me. I'm here and I'm more important. I will bother you until you talk to me." Such a sweet dog.
How he treats his dog and how the dog loves him back tells the world how lucky Ireland is to have such a kind hearted President. This is so awesome❤️👴🏻🐶
If only he ran the country and not the Taoiseach
Hitler's dogs also loved him so much. What's the point?
@@CrackSmonka Just my sincerest compliments to the President and his devoted dog.
Go troll elsewhere, my thread doesn't need any form of negativity. Goodbye.
@@itsthatsem Well, your compliment was based on your love of animals and doesn't mean at all it has anything to do with human behaviour. I'm not trolling, I'm just stating a fact.
@@CrackSmonka Ive heard good things about this guy though. Apparently he really is a good guy.
You can tell he a good doggo and a good boi most of the times
He acts like a big goofy puppy, tbh. ...and he looks like a very sweet doggy.
May the Fourth be with you!
@@JSkyGemini she is a big goofy puppy. Shes not fully grown yet. And Miggeldy is our real live leprechaun.
Neither Misneach (in the clip) nor Bród are good most of the time. That's why they're so popular. 🤣😂🤣
I.P: Not now, I'm working here.
Doggo: your title means nothing to me. Let's play!
If all I knew about this person was that his dog loves them, that would be enough. Good boy. Good owner.
I'm impressed that he was composed enough to not just bend down and give the dog kisses and pets lol
The president is so stinking cute! He looks like the king of fairies 🧚♀️ 🥺
I'm the king of the leprechauns
I think it’s the forest around him giving that vibe
I already like this man and didn't even hear a word. Just like how kind he is to the dog.
Everyone is talking about the dog, but im waiting for Scrat to show up out of nowhere to get that Acorn lol.
Same 😂
😂😂😂
His dog was like “ I heard you prepare this speech for 3 weeks ! You said we we’re going for a walk !! All this grass and you want to stand here and talk ! Let’s go play!”.
Title: “President of Ireland’s Dog Steals the Show”
Me: Wtf is with that giant acorn in the background?
Oh yeah the acorn lmao
It's a statue there to commemorate the centenary of the Easter Rising. There's a time capsule inside that's to be opened in 2116
@@sweetasterium Whoa, that’s so cool!
I was thinking the same thing!!
I have been hunting the comments to confirm if it was just me, or someone else also thinks there is an 'ac😳rn' mistake in that title.
I literally did not notice that until I saw this comment.
Plot Twist: The Bernese Mountain Dog is the President.
That prez has got composure! I would have been like.... “hold up, Ireland. ☝️ Awww whooza good puppa. You wanna play? We go walkies after I address the nation k? Why you so kootie patootie? Boop.” 🐶
HAH! Yes exactly 😅😂😂
I wanna know who is so miserable in there life that they dislike this.
The Irish.
We begrudge as a form of compliment.
He’s our best.
The auld bollix.
See?😂🤣
16 people who don't like either dog shows or not orange presidents! 😁
me! and i didnt even like or dislike it.!.
@@sarahbyrne8501 that's Irish warmth for those who aren't in the knowin ;)
He must be a kind soul, his dog sure does love him.♥️
Hitler's dogs loved him
@@stuartparker6838 Hitler's dogs feared him.
@@harrynac6017 my dogs love me and I'm a terrible person
@@stuartparker6838 lol! That's not hitler!
@@TheSheep017 😁
Reminds me of Ratatouille. The dog is the actual brains behind him.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of this man! You don't require costly suites, costly shoes, and secret service to do the job...
Just a loyal doggo!!
The secret service are there in force, but they are very secret ;)
Adrian Corley The Irish Secret Service came as Lil munchkins hidden in the oversized acorn on the Lawn
@@davem9445 That is what they want you to believe. The reality is so so so secret, no one knows.
@@jeeeeeeeee2977 I'm from an Irish political family. Bodyguards are really around government members, especially around the Taoiseach. But yeah maybe that unlike other countries, the Taoiseach can be relieved from his guards for stuff like jogging etc
Parliament members don't have bodyguards I reckon, except maybe the presidents of the two chambers
I read the title and I was like why does Ireland’s dog have its own president and why does Ireland have its own dog
I think you need help lol
As a non native English speaker the title confused me a lot
😂😂😂😂
I reread the title after this comment, and now I like it even more!
That is HILARIOUS 😂
yeah it was worded awkwardly
It takes a confident man who's on the short side to stand in front of a massive acorn with an enormous dog. I ❤ the mighty Michael D. Higgins so much!
I see a man with his dog, it doesn' t mind ir he's a president or a common people. I see a good fellow. Regards from buenos aires Argentina 🇦🇷
He is so patient with his Dog. Shows real Love and Bond.
