Average lifespan of a dog is around 10-14 years, with lots of variety by breed (longer on average for small breeds and shorter on average for large ones).
So if we take 12 years as the average lifespan and assume he’s including dogs from his childhood, he’d need to live with an average of about 7 dogs at a time to get to 50 dogs by age 88. That’s a lot of animals but still not too hard to pull off if you’re a rich guy with a big countryside estate.
Apparently more concerning to authorities was the discovery that he had 72 guns and a firing range on the estate even though he had no legal authorization to own a firearm. Which is apparently a thing in some countries! Who knew? /s
Yeah, now that you mention it I can think of a couple of famous Hollywood sex predators who fled the US for France (in one case, quite literally) and continued to have a strong following there. I would hope that times are changing though.
It’s a dog. let it live out another 10 years and then bury him. (Loubo is a boy dog name I assume)
The older generation is weird. And the richer and more famous they are, the weirder they get.
He’ll put him to sleep in my arms.
I understand how romantic that might seem to those that didn’t think about the reality of it for more than 2 seconds. And I admit it would could be a great scene in a film or story. But most of the entertainment would be from the conflict because it would be controversial to the audience.
But don’t anthropomorphize a dog too much. Sure, Loubo is going to miss his master/papa. But dogs (and cats, and human children) are pretty resilient. He’ll make a new pack/family and go on adventures and live out his remaining little doggie life.
Have someone make a terra cotta statue of the dog and be buried with that, so when it does die its soul will be there to watch over you. They figured this out over two thousand years ago, when it turned out even an emperor can’t easily have an entire armed regiment be killed.
His loved ones are lucky he didn’t decide to commit suicide- anyone who would try to do this with their dog sounds like a prime candidate as one of those “family annihilator” types that decides to take their spouse and kids with them when they go because they have such an enormous ego they can’t imagine those around them existing as independent people rather than merely props in their own story.
