Even the First Dog of Australia gets the blues.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison's vocal dog Buddy has been causing a stir among Kirribilli House neighbours when it returns from its regular trips to Canberra.

The recent rains have forced the "well-loved" schnoodle inside, according to the PM's office, leading to some exuberant behaviour when he does get to the gates.
A neighbour of the PM's harbourside residence says the designer dog has been "really annoying".
"I hear the dog barking at all hours and he's often standing at the gates and peering out by himself, looking bored," the neighbour, who did not want to be named, said.
