Outgoing US ambassador Victoria Kennedy has returned home with her cockapoo "Charlie". The fluffy four-legged friend is not only a true Upper Austrian, but also the "highest-ranking diplomat" on four legs.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Even before the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, the ambassador in Vienna, Victoria Kennedy, had to leave Austrian soil. That's the rules of the game. With the former ambassador, the highest-ranking Austrian "diplomat" on four paws also moved across the pond. Kennedy was proud of her dog "Charlie", which the lawyer had found at a breeder in Upper Austria.
Gave Obama a dog as a present
Four-legged friends have always played a major role in the life of the top diplomat. For example, she gave the Obamas the Portuguese Water Dog puppy "Bo" in 2008. "Obama had promised his then still young daughters a puppy if he won the presidential election," says Kennedy.
"I need a four-legged friend again"
In 2021, Kennedy - her late husband was a brother of former President John F. Kennedy - was nominated as Ambassador to Austria. "When I arrived in Vienna without a dog, it was clear to me that I needed a four-legged friend again," says the lawyer, explaining how she got her "Charlie".
Mix of poodle and cocker spaniel
"My search led me to Cockapoos - half poodle and half cocker spaniel. I found a breeder in Upper Austria and visited a new litter when the dogs were a few weeks old. One of the dogs came to me immediately and never left. The breeder said he had decided on me. And I think that's true."
