There are multiple videos on the internet of adorable dogs bothering their parents at the wrong time asking for attention and the recent person to face this scenario is none other than the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins.

A video of the furry Bernese mountain dog, Misneach, stealing the show while President gave tribute to late actor Tom Hickey, who died on Saturday, is going viral on the internet. Misneach is one of the President’s two Bernese mountain dogs who competed for his hooman’s attention live on camera while Higgins tried to keep his composure.

On Sunday, Higgins was speaking to RTE about The Riordans actor Tom Hickey, who was suffering from Parkinson’s disease since 2013 and died aged 76-77. During the TV interview, Misneach sat beside the President, occasionally nibbling his hand and pawing him while demanding to be petted repeatedly. But as Higgins struggled to maintain his composure while talking to the camera, Misneach had trouble on his mind. Filmed in the lawn, the stubborn puppy won thousands of hearts as he brought smiles by asking his owner for attention and the President obliged by scratching his head in between and offering his hand as a peace offering to be chewed by him.

The video shared by the President’s office has cut out Misneach’s mischief and shows Higgins in a mid-shot with a much closer angle. As viewers wondered what was up with Higgins’ coat and right hand, Misneach’s brief appearance answered these questions.
