Michael D Higgins' dogs aren't the biggest fans of Joe Biden.
Puppy Misneach was in the grounds of Áras an Uachtarain to greet the US President - and despite being called by President Biden the dog had no interest.
There were quite literal cheers in the Dublin Castle press centre when Misneach appeared 🐶 pic.twitter.com/6SYlRU697t

And even Michael D calling him didn't work.
Joe Biden spent part of this morning in Áras an Uachtarain meeting with the President Michael D Higgins.
He planted a tree and rang the peace bell.
He's being accompanied by the US Ambassador Claire Cronin and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
After meeting the Taoiseach President Biden is bound for the Dáil where he'll deliver a speech to a joint sitting of the Oireachtas.
He'll be the fourth US President to do so following in the footsteps of Raegan, JFK and Clinton.
The Good Friday Agreement, Irish-US Business ties and Ukraine are expected to be brought up as well as his fondness for Ireland.
Today's trip culminates with a dinner hosted in President Biden's honour at Dublin Castle.
