French television LCI in Paris on Sunday caught French President Macron’s rescue dog picking up his leg and urinating on a fireplace in the Elysee Palace. The Labrador retriever and Griffon mixed breed came into the President’s home last year and had been adopted from a nearby animal shelter.
The one-year-old friendly pooch who often follows President Macron or his wife Brigitte wherever they go was named after Captain Nemo from the Jules Verne book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea – a favorite of the President.
After Macron realized Nemo had urinated on the edge of the fireplace in the palatial room adorned with gilded moldings and crystal chandeliers, he told the ministers he had been meeting with that his dog “was doing something quite exceptional.” According to Nemo’s dad, this was an unusual behavior for his dog. According to BBCNews, Brune Poirson, the junior minister for ecology had “wondered what the noise was.”

Everyone did laugh! There’s nothing like a “first dog” to make anyplace a home. Check out the video:

When you gotta go, you gotta go – I found this very cute and hope the French President did too.
oui wee
I hope he is neutered?
May be they were late with the potty break?
Nice they took it so casually. Hey, the dog could only wait so long. I’m sure they had 10 people to run and wash it up.
