The tragic fate of Nemo, the dog Emmanuel Macron was not family – Gala

adoption

Emmanuel Macron and his wife Bridget have welcomed a new boarder at the Elysée palace : a labrador christened Nemo, abandoned by his masters and adopted at the SPA in 2016.

It is the testimony of a long tradition. Sunday evening, Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron have adopted Nemo, a labrador cross griffon and the age of a little over two years. The dog of the President of the Republic and the First Lady succeeds at Philae, a female labrador that had been offered to the former head of State, François Hollande. The new resident of the Elysée palace has made its first steps in the park of the presidential residence.

“They stayed for two hours and have visited the kennels. They both had a real heart for Nemo, a young mixed breed dog griffon/labrador “ has assured the president of the SPA Natacha Harry in Paris. Brigitte Macron had already visited the shelter of Hermeray (78) on the 3rd August last, the date to which he had been presented the tasks of the SPA and residents. Baptized in a first time Sailor, Emmanuel Macron was preferred Nemo. “This is the year of the No, and the president was chosen in reference to captain Nemo from 20,000 leagues under the sea, Jules Verne. And then it is also a reference to Amiens, where Jules Verne lived” said the Elysée.

Repeating that he is the president of the ruptures, Emmanuel Macron has no exception to the rule. Nemo was adopted from a shelter and is not the product of a breeding such as this was formerly the case. A symbolic gesture for a head of State wishing the French to the problem of abandonment of companion animals. Collected by the SPA in September 2016, Nemo had hitherto not found a master and was also able to take advantage of the lack of travel at the international to its new owners in order to better get acquainted with them.

Described as ” lively, intelligent, playful, and fun “, Nemo has been selected for its ability to well manage the presence of visitors to the Elysée palace, and for that there is no ” problem to be with the grandchildren Brigitte,” said the president of the SPA. The presence of Nemo could give a second breath to Emmanuel Macron, who is expected to re-agitated, while his popularity is in free fall.
