In a shocking turn of events, it has been reported that Waggy the Dog, a beloved pet of a local Belarusian family, is set to take over the country after barking at Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The incident reportedly occurred during Putin's visit to Belarus, where he was meeting with President Alexander Lukashenko. As Putin stepped out of his car, Waggy, who was out for a walk with his owner, suddenly began barking uncontrollably at the Russian leader.
At first, Putin and his security detail were taken aback by the small dog's sudden outburst. But as Waggy continued to bark, Putin reportedly became increasingly agitated and demanded that Lukashenko do something about the "unruly animal."
However, Lukashenko, who is known for his love of animals, saw an opportunity in the situation. He quickly declared that Waggy was a "heroic defender of Belarusian sovereignty" and announced that the dog would be taking over as the country's new leader.
The news has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising Lukashenko for his unconventional choice of leader, while others have expressed concern about the qualifications of a small dog to lead a country.
Despite the controversy, Waggy seems to be taking his new role in stride. In a statement released by the Belarusian government, the dog expressed his commitment to "protecting the rights and freedoms of all Belarusians, both human and canine."
Only time will tell how Waggy's leadership will play out, but one thing is certain: the world will be watching closely as this unlikely political figure takes the reins in Belarus.
