Poor little guy looks seriously overbred if you ask me ...

This was the reason Lennu was left out of media a while after he started getting attention by them. The presidential family said that due to inbreeding and health problems the breed has they did not want to give it a spotlight. And Lennu was seen no more around cameras.

It's a shame

I've seen worse looking Bostons. This one looks pretty healthy and happy though if a little bit portly. That being said I do agree that breeding standards need to be corrected.

Rest in peace Lennu. We still miss you

I recommend everyone to Google "irish president dog"

Yeah, Irish President Michael D. Higgins had two Bernese Mountain dogs. He still has Misneach, but Bród passed away in April 😢

I prefer the ones that bite the president's security.

Never send a Major to do a (lieutenant) Commander's job.

I swear I saw a video of some president or high ranking official having a meeting with other officials in a fancy room and his dog casually takes a leak in the fireplace
