  • A video shows Biden appeared to be snubbed by Irish President Michael Higgins's dog.
  • The president went to greet the Bernese mountain dog, but the dog rejected his approach and barked.
  • The interaction took place on the final day of the president's four-day trip to Ireland.

President Joe Biden appeared to be snubbed by Irish President Michael Higgins's dog when they met on Thursday during his visit to Ireland.

The humorous interaction was captured on video as Biden approached the dog, Misneach, whose name means "courage," while touring the gardens of Higgins' residence.

The video shows the large Bernese mountain dog, a Swiss breed, excitedly bounding toward its owner as Biden, a known dog-lover, approaches behind to greet the canine.

 

Misneach rejects the overture and starts barking at the president, eliciting laughter from the crowd.

This is not the first time Misneach has stolen the show – the dog previously found itself in the spotlight two years ago after being filmed demanding attention from Higgins as he delivered a speech about the death of actor Tom Hickey.

Biden is also no stranger to misbehaving dogs. Major, one of his German shepherds, previously caused minor scandals with several biting incidents and was eventually sent to live with family friends.

The Irish dog's interaction with Biden occurred on the final day of the president's four-day trip to Ireland to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
