Micheal Martin has shares some adorable snaps of the moment he was greeted by President Michael D Higgins' dogs Bród and Misneach today.
The two Bernese Mountain dogs met the Taoiseach at the steps of Áras an Uachtaráin on Monday as he arrived to conduct official state business with the President, appointing new judges.
Mr Martin was keen to interact with the lovable canines and crouched down to pet them with open arms.
