On September 22, Iris Mittenaere revealed a “well kept little secret”. The former Miss Universe surprised everyone by revealing who now shared her days: Calypso, a tiny female harlequin dachshund. News that literally melted its subscribers. “OMG you adopted this little love???” Yes.
“I’m Melting”comments his mother under her Instagram post. “Yes, that’s good! You’ve wanted a ball of fur near you for a long time”continues one of her friends. “But what a face of love”, “true love”, “I’m craaaaaque”, “oh not so cute”… We have to admit that we also melt completely when we are faced with this little puppy that we really want to cuddle.
“He’s so small.” Really, almost “microscopic”. And that’s probably what makes the beautiful brunette’s followers fall so hard. But if positive comments are pouring in under Iris Mittenaere’s latest Instagram post, some netizens have come across her. The reason? The young woman should have apparently adopted a dog from a shelter, and nowhere else.
Internet users annoyed by the dog “instagrammable” from the influencer
“There are thousands of dogs locked up in the SPA waiting to be adopted. It hurts my heart to see influencers with millions of subscribers encouraging breeding adoptions, trends for cute Instagrammable dogs that “we popularize it as a comfort toys.” These are the kinds of comments that we can read on social networks since Iris Mittenaere shared her new life with Calypso. “That’s the problem! Fashion is launched on the networks for certain breeds of dogs and cats and this fuels a business to the detriment of other animals suffering in shelters.”
And many internet users are of the same opinion.“It’s a shame not to have done a good deed… A union adoption would have been a nice gesture and might have influenced some people to do the same. The unions are bursting at the seams. That’s your job, isn’t it? To influence people? It would have been nice to do it positively.” Words are sometimes difficult. Strong. And if the former beauty queen has yet to respond to this criticism, her loyal subscribers have.
“Millions of children are ready for adoption, but people continue to multiply… everyone does as they please”trying to imagine someone in a comment. “She does what she wants. It’s still her right to want a very special breed to take with her everywhere. It’s her choice, her life, no one has anything to complain about.”another continues a little longer.
“She’s just experienced a tragedy, she’s happy to have a dog, and you still find something to complain about”
“She just experienced a tragedy, she is happy to have a dog and you still find something to complain about, finally let her live!” Iris Mittenaere is indeed entitled to a little respite after the last eventful months. Last May, the former Miss announced her breakup with Diego El Glaoui. The one who was going to marry her lover, and who planned to have children with him, talked about her grief a few months later on YouTuber Louise Aubery’s channel. “It is a sadness. In addition to the separation, you are grieving the life you had planned”, confided the young woman.
Since this separation, Iris Mittenaere had found love with Bruno Pelat, the son of a real estate magnate. Apart from this: at the end of September, the ex-miss filed a complaint against the 22-year-old young man. He is in custody for “spousal violence”. He then appeared for domestic violence without total disability and illegal use of drugs. And because Iris Mittenaere wants to be “in psychological capacity” to take the stand to talk about the violence that she accuses her ex-spouse of, the hearing was postponed until November 6, 2024. In the meantime, the influencer will be able to enjoy a few moments of sweetness with her little Calypso, whatever they say Internet users.
