## Summary

Argentine President Javier Milei is known for cutting government spending and regulation, and annual inflation has fallen from 211 per cent to 33 per cent in less than three years. Away from politics, he is known for his five English mastiffs, reportedly cloned from his late dog Conan, whose companionship has been a source of comfort.

The dogs are said to weigh more than 200 pounds, with the largest at 220 pounds. Milei named four after libertarian economists Murray Rothbard, Milton Friedman and Robert Lucas Jr, and the fifth after the original Conan; reports differ on whether five or six clones were born. The article links the breed’s watchful, protective nature to Milei’s small-government outlook, while noting their stubbornness and capacity for household damage.
