Video: Argentina’s Newly Elected President Halts Convoy to Greet an Unexpected Admirer – A Dog

Argentina’s recently inaugurated President, Javier Milei, known for his cloned canine companions referred to as his “four-legged kids,” made an impromptu decision to halt his motorcade on Sunday after assuming office.

The unconventional libertarian, recognized for his untamed hair and disruptive impact on Argentine politics with radical economic proposals and theatrical gatherings, disembarked from the vehicle traveling from Congress to the Casa Rosada government palace. He took a moment to interact with a lost golden retriever, presumably separated from its owner.

During his presidential campaign, Milei consistently highlighted his four cloned mastiffs, emphasizing their significance in his life. This dedication to his canine companions was reiterated upon his victory in the August primaries.
