Former President George W. Bush has revealed that when he first introduced First Dog Barney to Russian Premier Vladimir Putin, the leader kind of dissed him.

The 67-year-old politician said that Barney held a special place in his heart, and when Putin met the dog, he said "You call that a dog?" Politico reported.

A year later, when his wife and he visited Putin at his Dacha outside of Moscow, he introduced them to his dog, which was a huge hound, a lot bigger stronger and faster than Barney.
