Dylan (born 6 January 2016) is a pet dog owned by Alberto Fernández , the current president of Argentina , and his domestic partner, Fabiola Yáñez . Dylan is a rough collie , and was named after American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan , whom President Fernández admires. [3]
Life
Dylan was born in Pilar , in Buenos Aires Province , on 6 January 2016. [1] [2] [3] After being adopted by Alberto Fernández and his domestic partner, Fabiola Yáñez , Dylan moved to the couple's home in the Puerto Madero neighborhood of Buenos Aires . He was named after Bob Dylan , whom Fernández has praised and cited as an inspiration in different occasions. [2] [6] In 2019, mere months before the announcement of Fernández's candidacy for the 2019 presidential election , an Instagram account was set up for Dylan; the account quickly became popular and, as of March 2020, counts with over 200 thousand followers. [7]
Dylan became a recognizable feature of Fernández's campaign. [8] The collie was present in Fernández's first campaign spot ahead of the 2019 primaries , [9] and both Fernández and Yáñez shared photos with their pet dog in their social media accounts throughout the campaign. [10]
Following Alberto Fernández's victory at the 2019 presidential election, Dylan and his then-only son, Prócer, moved to the Quinta de Olivos , the private residence of the Argentine president. [11]
Offspring
Dylan fathered four pups born in July 2019; only one of these pups was kept by the Fernández household, a male. Dylan's son was named Prócer , in a reference to The Simpsons 1997 episode " The Canine Mutiny ", which features a collie named Laddie ("Prócer", in the Latin American Spanish dub), itself a parody of another collie dog, Lassie ; [12] the name was suggested by Fernández's child. [13] An Instagram account for Prócer was later created as well, and as of April 2020, Dylan's son has over 65 thousand followers. [14]
In June 2020, Dylan fathered a female, which was named Kaila. [5]
