Dilyn, the Johnson’s Downing Street dog, has been neutered in a bid to cut back on his ‘endless’ romantic urges that sees him humping people’s legs.

It has been revealed that the Johnsons decided to opt for the procedure in order to limit Dilyn’s libido, The Sun reports. 

With non-emergency vets procedures resuming, the hound recently went under the knife after Boris Johnson last week moaned of his Jack Russell’s romantic urges.

Speaking about police dog and German Shephard, Zorro, Mr Johnson asked: ‘Do you have to worry about his romantic urges?’

After being told there were no such concerns with Zorro, Mr Johnson shook his head and said ‘my dog is endless…. on people’s legs’.

Home Secretary Priti Patel, accompanying the Prime Minister on his visit, laughed as Mr Johnson explained the situation.

Dilyn’s energy is well-known throughout Downing Street, having previous expensive run-ins with antique furniture at Chequers and being pictured bounding ahead of Boris and his son Wilfred in Buckinghamshire earlier this month.

Dilyn was abandoned by a Welsh farmer for having a misaligned jaw before he was taken in as a rescue puppy by Boris and Carrie in 2019.

Mr Johnson is regularly seen out running with his pet on a lead.

At times he has seemed to be struggling to control the animal as it showed an interest in ducks or passers by.
