El presidente irlandés, Michael D. Higgins, es uno de los políticos más queridos y respaldados que ganó su segunda elección con 822,566 votos de primera preferencia.
Aunque hay muchas razones para quererlo, sus dos adorables perros, Bród y Síoda (que significa Sombra), juegan un papel importante para obtener las actitudes favorables de la gente.
Los dos perros de montaña berneses del presidente son inseparables de su compañero humano, y el propio Higgins se asegura de que siempre puedan estar a su lado. Las fotos y videos que siguen ilustran el fuerte vínculo entre ellos:
Aquí, Bród interrumpe un evento con los Reales para pedir un masaje en el vientre de Higgins.

President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins' dog enters room of 100 people to look for his owner, walks through everyone to find him, is very happy to do so and demands a belly rub during an official eventpic.twitter.com/mKRxSc6w7P
Interrumpir los discursos es un fenómeno común, aceptado por todos.

Bród y Síoda disfrutan estar siempre cerca de Higgins.
It has occurred to me that many non Irish people will not know of Ireland's beloved President Miggeldy Higgins and more importantly the first dogs Bród and Síoda. Very good dogs indeed. pic.twitter.com/lmUHqxE7ML

Siempre para caminar afuera
The clurichaun/clúrachán is a mischievous leprechaun in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking & a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs & wine cellars! But you better make sure your dog is safe! Many fables say they enjoy riding sheep & dogs at night! #Ireland 🐕🐾☘️🍻 pic.twitter.com/aRMQLOWF5d
