The family of legendary French actor Alain Delon has swooped in to clear up a bizarre controversy that emerged after his passing. You see, back in 2018, Alain casually mentioned his unique retirement plan: he planned on taking his dog Loubo with him to the afterlife. And by “take with him,” he didnโt mean a doggy passportโhe meant euthanasia. Yes, apparently, Alain believed his dog Loubo would appreciate a little joint departure, because why wouldnโt a Belgian shepherd prefer a dramatic exit over Netflix and naps?
Loubo, now a sprightly 10-year-old, is reportedly still very much alive, wagging his tail, chasing squirrels, and blissfully unaware of his previous starring role in this eerie drama. Naturally, the good guys of the world, especially the animal lovers, hit the panic button. “Is Loubo going to be part of this Thelma-and-Louise-style finale?” they wondered.
Well, donโt fret. The Brigitte Bardot Foundation, a superhero squad for animals, galloped to the rescue and called up Alainโs daughter, Anouchka Delon, to get the scoop. “Loubo is part of the family,” she reassured, “and weโre not shipping him off to the great beyond any time soon.”
Cue the collective sigh of relief! Louboโs future is secured. Heโll live out his golden years in peace, likely getting pampered with gourmet dog food and extra belly rubs. Rest easy, animal loversโLoubo isnโt checking into the doggy afterlife hotel anytime soon.
As for the dog himself? We imagine heโs pretty stoked he dodged that weird plot twist. Heโs living his best life while Alain probably watches from the great beyond, mildly disappointed that Loubo isnโt up there with him, but comforted by the fact that at least someone gets to keep enjoying the good life in France.
