The name of the President's new puppy has been revealed.

The five month old Bernese Mountain Dog has been given the same "Misneach" which is the Irish word for courage.

President Higgins was spotted in Phoenix Park at the weekend accompanied by Misneach and his other dog, Bród.

The dogs have been a long-time hit with the public and have often attended public events at the Áras - sometimes demanding belly rubs off President Higgins during work!

The presidential pupper has arrived just six months after the death of Michael D's other dog, Síoda.

People took to social media at the time to recall their favourite memory of the beloved dog.

One artist in Ringsend in Dublin even painted a mural dedicated to the late canine with the words "Naomh Síoda Madra na nÉireann" meaning "St Síoda, the Dog of Ireland".
