Followers were absolutely loving the interaction and stunned at the bizarre nature of the relationship as the tiny ape, named Niko and donning a nappy, tumbles around with the canine.

Joseph does not seem to be a stranger to all sorts of animals, having more videos showing the chimpanzee running around his home as well as hugging a majestic donkey named Gianni.

WATCH: “I was chosen”, Joseph Muscat addresses Malta Premier League chairman appointment

WATCH: "I was chosen", Joseph Muscat address Malta Premier League chairman appointment

Sep 28 2022

In Malta Daily’s latest episode of The Interview, former Prime Minister and newly-elected chairman of the Malta Premier League (MPL) Joseph Muscat addressed the state of his position as Malta Premier League chairman.

Muscat told host Fabian Demicoli that, rather than opting for the role himself, the former PM believes he was chosen. He went on to state that his exit from politics has allowed him the luxury to do certain things such as this.

Prior to his election as chairman, Muscat had promised himself that he would only work on things he enjoyed doing, and with football being a passion of his, the leadership role made sense.

During the interview, he also stated that the role is not a job or a profession, nor is it a paid gig, but is a contribution he feels that he can give, believing there is a wealth of opportunities.
