Anthony Albanese’s dog Toto ruthlessly bullied just days after the pooch made his debut on Twitter

Anthony Albanese‘s beloved dog Toto has been ruthlessly bullied by trolls just days after the pooch made his debut on Twitter.

The curly-haired canine, dubbed ‘Australia’s First Dog’, initially received a warm welcome on the platform and gained 20,000 followers in just 24 hours. 

However, just days later the dark side of Toto’s new-found fame became evident as fed-up fans complained the account’s tweets were too ‘cringe’. 

‘It’s so cringe I can’t handle it! Got all excited about the cute account but some of the tweets are just OTT (over the top),’ one user said.

‘Toto listen to me very carefully. If you do one more post I’ll tell your dad you went to go live on a farm,’ another tweeted. 

‘I’m a Labor voter, but please delete this page,’ a third added. 

‘Every time this account says ‘hooman’ I will kick (1) dog,’ a fourth said. 

However, others defended the account, which was created by a 20-year-old university student in Brisbane who explained they just loved the PM’s dog. 

‘My grandchildren love it… get a grip,’ one wrote.

‘Hey Toto…. great to follow you on Twitter. Let your Dad know that I am proud to have him as my Prime Minister,’ another said.

In his latest tweet, Toto said his ‘dad’ had promised to take him into Parliament if he got more followers than Scott Morrison. 

‘Dad brought me along to a furry busy playdate over the weekend! It was great to make some new doggy and hooman pals!’ the account captioned a photo of a beaming Mr Albanese and Toto with a Labor bandanda. 

In another tweet, the pooch told his followers to have a ‘pawfect day’. 

Meanwhile, Mr Albanese has hit the ground running since storming to victory in Saturday’s election.

On Monday he was sworn in as Prime Minister before jetting off to the Quad leaders’ summit in Tokyo.

The regional security partnership includes Australia, the US, Japan and India and is aimed at countering Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific.

US President Joe Biden praised Mr Albanese’s stamina on his first day in the job.

‘You got sworn in, got on a plane and if you fall asleep while you’re here, it’s OK because I don’t know how you’re doing it,’ he said.

‘Congratulations on your election. When you won and I called you, we greatly appreciate your commitment on being here so soon after taking office.’

Upon his return to Australia the Prime Minister called the whirlwind trip a great success but admitted he’s still getting used to his title.

‘It really hit home when people start to call you Prime Minister and you realise that you are not looking around for someone else, it’s actually you,’ he told Sunrise.
