Nemo at the Elysee

President Macron keeps up the tradition of having a dog for presidential companionship. This weekend he chose a black labrador/griffon cross from a refuge, black dogs being notoriously hard to re-home.
But this is the latest in a long line of black labs at the Elysee. Presidents Hollande, Giscard and Mitterrand all choosing the same breed. Sarkozy's little dog famously chewed the palace's furniture and Chirac's bichon "repeatedly bit the President".
As sometime owners of a black lab we can testify that they are lovely family pets. Let's hope Nemo can improve Macron's low standing in the polls.
