(Photo by GUILLAUME SOUVANT / AFP) PARIS — Alain Delon’s pet dog Loubo will not be put down and buried with the film star as he wanted, the Brigitte Bardot Foundation said Tuesday, Aug.
20, following an outcry from animal rights activists. Delon, who died Sunday aged 88, had said he wanted the Belgian malinois to be humanely killed and buried with him. But the foundation named after former film idol Bardot quoted Delon’s family as saying the wish would not be carried out.
“Do not worry about Loubo,” the foundation said in a post on the X social media platform. “Many of you have sent us messages concerning the fate of Loubo,” it added. “‘He has his home and his family,’ the family of Alain Delon have confirmed to us and they will take care of him.
Loubo will of course not be euthanized.” Delon announced in 2018 that he wanted to be buried with the dog. READ: Losing a pet: How to cope with the heartbreak “He is my end-of-life dog.
