President of Ireland's Dog Steals the Show

[OnDoutside]

When Ireland's President Michael D. Higgins spoke to reporters outside his residence on May 2, his pet Bernese mountain dog completely stole the show. The dog was caught on camera trying every trick in the dog book to get Higgins' attention, to little, adorable avail.
