Peter Casey Shares Bizarre Campaign Video About Michael D's Dogs

After a campaign that saw one presidential candidate fish a golf ball out of water for climate change and another refuse to debate his components, the Presidential campaign concludes this Friday. Citizens will vote on whether or not to re-elect the current President of Ireland for another term or choose a new candidate.

One candidate who has unapologetically targeted the current President Michael D Higgins is businessman Peter Casey.

Casey, one of three Dragons running for the presidency, shared a campaign video on Twitter targeting Higgins' dogs Bród and Shadow, Bernese Mountain dogs that originate from Switzerland. Casey, the least popular candidate on the polls, claims Higgins dogs cost the Irish taxpayer €10,000 annually. The twenty-second clip, narrated by an American, goes on to question why Higgins, an Irish President, does not own an 'Irish' dog breed:

According to The Independent, Higgins denies the claims that the taxpayer pays for Shadow and Bròd. Higgins has accused Casey of running “black advertisements” that are “imported from the United States” during the campaign.

Collectively scratching their heads, voters turned to Twitter to bark their concerns over the bizarre video:

Casey has come under fire for in recent days for his comments about the Irish traveler community and for those receiving social welfare payments.

Yesterday Higgins was spotted walking Shadow and Bród on the grounds of Áras an Uachtaráin and the pair seem unfazed:
