"With at least 100,000 dogs in Paris, having a canine-friendly agenda could sway a significant amount of voters. Today, bans are the rule and permissions the exception."
"Gregoire has deployed an entire Instagram account dedicated to dogs, HotdogswithEmmanuelGregoire, showing assorted pooches busily charming the future mayor of Paris into opening more dog runs."
"Dati has cuddled canines in multiple social media posts, saying they had not found their rightful place in the city and she would expand access everywhere, on and off the lead."
In the Paris mayoral race, candidates Emmanuel Gregoire and Rachida Dati are focusing on dog-friendly policies to attract voters. With over 100,000 dogs in the city, these measures could sway significant votes. The last election was decided by a narrow margin of 57,000 votes. Currently, only a fraction of parks allow dogs, prompting calls for better treatment and more spaces for dogs. Both candidates are actively engaging with dog owners through social media to promote their agendas.
