Kaya, the family dog of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has mingled with plenty of high-level dignitaries, including US Secretary of State John Kerry.
However, last week Mr Netanyahu announced that the dog had been quarantined after biting an MK and a minister’s spouse during a Chanucah party at the PM’s residence.
The 10-year-old bitch bit Likud MK Sharren Haskel, before sinking her teeth into Or Alon, the husband of deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely.
Mr Netanyahu had shouted, “Get away from her, she bites”, but the warning came too late.
