Barking mad? Argentina leader Javier Milei's attachment to 'ghost' dog raises sanity worries

The president has been facing questions from local media about his late pet Conan, whom he had cloned into 4 copies he refers to as his ‘children’

An unauthorised biography has claimed that Milei consults all his dogs – dead and alive – with the help of a medium specialised in ‘interspecies communication’

Does Javier Milei communicate with a ghost dog whose death he refuses to accept? Forced to respond to questions about his mental health, the Argentine president’s office has lashed out at “disrespectful” speculation.

Twice this week, presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni was asked about Milei’s English Mastiff, Conan, said to have died seven years ago.

"Trump and Milei were the biggest speakers to wrap up the annual Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington. During their backstage greeting, captured in a video posted by a Trump campaign staffer, Milei shouted 'President!' and pulled Trump in for a close hug before they took pictures together."

"Milei took office in December after running a campaign inspired by Trump, complete with red 'Make Argentina Great Again' hats in a nod to the former president’s own 'Make America Great Again' movement. He was the last of several foreign politicians at CPAC to echo popular Trump themes on issues like migration and the perceived threat of socialism."
