Noah referendum

If you were following the referendum celebrations at Dublin Castle on Saturday (26 May), then you may have noticed how at one point, the crowd was getting excited for one slightly coy and unlikely figure.

And no, we’re not referring to Minister for Health, Simon Harris.

We’re talking about this fella.

His name is Noah, and he really caused a stir among the crowds.

The vizsla pup was spotted by Newstalk’s Richard Chambers, who noted that he had “just been held up like Simba”, and the mere sight of this shy doggo on Twitter got everyone excited all over again.

Noah was quickly identified by one user, who felt it necessary to note that he loves “cuddles and love-bites”.

We’ll only assume from his sad eyes that doing a Lion King impression isn’t exactly up there on his list of favourite things too.
