Macron's dog caught peeing on presidential fireplace
Even presidential pets show the occasional disdain for pomp and protocol.
Nemo, the young dog adopted this year by France’s Emmanuel Macron, was caught on camera relieving himself on a gilded fireplace in the Elysee Palace behind a group of junior ministers meeting with the president.

Asked by junior minister for housing Julien Denormandie whether it was something that happened often, Macron added: “No ... you’ve triggered some completely unusual behavior in my dog, sorry.”

The footage caused much hilarity on social media sites, where it circulated widely.
Nemo Macron should be reassured that I once sat in a Cabinet meeting with a cat poo under the table behind me! https://t.co/8mhvBoZ74y
