Late Actor Alain Delon’s Dog Will Not Be Euthanized, Despite His Dying Wish | Alain Delon | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
French actor Alain Delon recently passed away and his family is clearing up some controversy that brewed after his death.
Alain made headlines in 2018 when he said that he planned on having his dog euthanized when he died so that they could be buried together. His now 10-year-old dog Loubo is still happy and healthy following his death, so people became concerned that his dog would be put to sleep.
“He is my end of life dog. A Belgian shepherd who I love like a child,” Alain previously said (via AFP). “If I die before him I will ask the vet to let us go together. He will inject him so that he dies in my arms. I would rather that than knowing that he would let himself die on my grave with so much suffering.”
The Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which protects animal rights, got in contact with the Delon family to check on the dog’s welfare.

A spokesperson for the foundation told The Guardian, “I’ve just had Anouchka Delon on the phone and she has told me that Loubo is part of the family and will be kept. The dog will not be put down.”
