In an emotional tribute, a spokesperson for President Higgins spoke about how Brod came to the Aras as an eight-week-old puppy and was loved by all that met him. They added: "He enjoyed meeting with the thousands of members of the public who came to Aras an Uachtarain over the years and he was probably one of the most photographed dogs in Ireland.
"He will be missed by the President, Sabina, and all at the Aras, particularly Misneach, the President’s remaining dog who is two and a half years old, and who has shared his space with Brod over recent months and was his constant companion, aware of Brod’s situation and very attentive to him."
