An annoying and unexpected guest interrupts Putin's meeting with Merkel.. What is the relationship between the mobile and the dog?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was exposed to an embarrassing situation during her meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, on Friday, when their conversation was interrupted by an unexpected "heavy guest."

During the meeting, while Putin was talking about Russian-German contacts and the development of the economy and growth, he suddenly heard Merkel's mobile phone ring, forcing her to turn it off.

Putin joked about the situation, "and we always keep in touch by phone." 

Before the start of the talks in the Kremlin, the Russian leader presented a bouquet of flowers to the German guest, especially since the visit is considered a farewell with the end of her term in power.


In the past, Putin and Merkel's meetings witnessed a number of funny situations, despite the cold and tense relations in the past period.

Including Putin's embarrassment while attending the Paris climate summit in December 2015, when Merkel's husband, Joachim Sauer, tried to grope him by pulling the seat while he was trying to sit down.

In 2007, in a meeting between Putin and the German chancellor, the Russian president's black dog entered the hall where the two parties were sitting, which spread terror and fear in Merkel.

This situation led the Russian president to apologize to her, stressing at the time that he did not know that she was afraid of dogs.

Reports had indicated that Merkel was afraid of dogs after a dog attacked her in 1995, and she was photographed looking completely uncomfortable during the meeting at Putin's summer house in Sochi, Russia.
