History
The dog had been born on the night Adele went to see Britney Spears at the O2 in London. She almost called the dog Britney (as a reference to Spears) even though he was male, although she claims it only lasted a few hours after her hangover stopped. She also considered naming the dog Aaron Lennon, one of Adele's favorite soccer stars. Once she heard the dog howling along to a Louis Armstrong record, though, Adele decided to name him "Louie". [1]
Adele has also stated that her furry friend has had many adventures in his 19 months of life, including being attacked by a Jack Russell terrier at the park across from Adele's home, although now the dog refuses to visit the location again. Adele then bought a house right opposite of a park for the dog to go for a walk in every day. Adele has also said that Louie has several dog "mates". [2] Adele has even stated that Louie will be the subject of her rumoured third album. She claims that Louie is the "love of her life", jokingly. Adele had also mentioned a rather funny moment that had happened when she brought Louie with her to an interview with Irish TImes, in which the dog had "farted", much to Adele's horror, although now she laughs about it. Louie had also made an appearance in Adele's track-by-track interview on her website about the music of her 2011 album, 21, when the pop singer was interviewed about the song "He Won't Go". Adele stated that the reason she had met the couple the track was about was because of her love of dogs. Louie also appeared on the cover of Nylon magazine with Adele. [3]
Adele plans on buying another dog soon, named Ella, which will be Louie's "sister". She wants to name it after Ella Fitzgerald.
