Why Benjamin Netanyahu's dog Kaiya is making headlines

Who is that?

A dog.

Hmm...That’s unusual — when did a dog become this significant?

Depends on the dog.

And the one you are talking about...

Belongs to the Netanyahu of Israel.

The Israseli Prime Minister?

Yes.

Ok. So what did Benjamin’s pet do?

Kaiya bit two guests in a crowd gathered to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

Ouch…who were they?

Lady lawmaker Sharren Haskel and attorney Or Alon, the husband of deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely.

How did they take it?

Sportingly; Haskel, a veterinary nurse by training, later tweeted: 'To those asking about my welfare, as someone who was once a (professional) snake wrangler, a small bite from a dog doesn't excite me.'

Was Kaiya punished?

Yes; she was quarantined.

So how did the Netanyahus find Kaiya?

Their son took Kaiya in from a rescue home earlier this year. The prime minister had then posted a picture on Twitter in August urging dog-lovers to seek out adult canines to adopt, saying: 'You won't regret it!

Being a vip pet, Kaiya must have met some powerful people huh?

Kaiya has met several dignitaries, including US Secretary of State John Kerry who is believed to have escaped unharmed.

What does the international media have to say on the development?

Many were quick to ponder whether the rescued pet may be a supporter of the Arab cause.
