The family of French actor Alain Delon, who passed away recently, refused to respect his wish to euthanize his favorite dog and bury him with him.
Delon, who died on Sunday at the age of 88, had wanted his 10-year-old Belgian Shepherd, Lubo, to be euthanized and buried with him, but after protests from animal rights activists, the family decided not to. did this.
According to "The Guardian", activists objected to the possibility of putting the healthy dog to sleep and offered to find a new home for Delon's dog.
The Brigitte Bardot Foundation said Delon's daughter Anushka confirmed the family would keep the dog.
"I just spoke to Anushka Delon and she told me that Lubo is part of the family and will be kept. The dog will not be euthanized," said foundation spokeswoman Brigitte Bardot.
