Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived at the polling booth on the morning of the elections with his dog in order to cast his vote. Johnson's pet dog is a rescue called Dilyn. Many other Britishers also came to the polling booth along with their pets to cast their votes for the 2019 General elections.
Boris Johnson shows affection to his dog
Johnson and his partner, Carrie Symon, adopted the dog earlier this year from the charity Friends of Animals Wales. Following his example, London Mayor Sadiq Khan arrived at the polling station with his dog Luna and posted a video of him with Luna and appealed people to vote.
Johnson and the London Mayor were not the only ones as according to reports thousands of voters across the United Kingdom lined up to cast their vote and many of them had brought their pets along with them.
Boris Johnson had arriver at the polling station at Westminster’s Central Methodist Hall to cast his vote at around 8:15 am. After casting his vote he was seen picking up his dog Dilyn and kissing the dog.
