France's President Macron adopts dog called Nemo

August 28, 2017 23:21

A black dog called Nemo has surfaced in the entourage of French President Emmanuel Macron.

The labrador-griffon cross, nearly two years old, continues a tradition of French presidents having a "first dog".

Nemo comes from an animal rescue centre and the daily Le Figaro reports that Macron paid 250 (Rs 19,000) for him.

Macron and his wife Brigitte collected Nemo on Sunday from the SPA animal refuge in Hermeray, on the western outskirts of Paris.

The dog had been abandoned in Tulle, in the southern Corrze region, the home base of Macron's predecessor, Franois Hollande.
