How we brought Milei’s dogs from the USA.
Animal Cargo’s craziest move
Some stories become unforgettable because of the unusual nature of their protagonists and the logistical challenges involved. In this reel, Favio recounts one of the craziest and most extravagant trips we’ve ever coordinated: transporting the dogs of the then-famous and eccentric Javier Milei.
It all started with an unusual call. Someone contacted Favio to request the transport of five siblings from the same litter from the United States. In the world of pet transport, this is extremely rare; no one usually brings five identical dogs at the same time unless there’s a very specific reason behind it.
The Mystery of the Five Brothers
Curiosity grew when our coordination led us to speak directly with ViaGen Pets, a biotechnology and cloning center located near Washington. It was at that moment that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place: they weren’t simply five puppies, they were clones of Conan, Javier Milei’s beloved companion.
They were Murray, Milton, Robert, Lucas, and a fifth member also named Conan. The operation involved transporting them from near Washington to Miami, and from there, the final flight to Argentina.
Extravagant Logistics for an Unexpected Destination
At that time, Milei wasn’t the President of Argentina, but rather a figure who appeared on television programs with a very flamboyant style. The most curious aspect of the story, as Favio recalls, is the animals’ final destination.
We’re talking about five Mastiffs that, in adulthood, can weigh over 100 kilos each. The incredible thing is that the receiving location was an apartment in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Imagining five giants of that size living together in a city apartment is one of those images that only this type of transport can provide.
