Lena Dunham Opens Up About Hairless Dogs Ingrid and Cornichon in Vogue's Dogue Interview
Lena Dunham brought home Ingrid, her eight-year-old Mexican hairless pug, from A Purposeful Rescue in Los Angeles after receiving photos from a friend. Ingrid arrived in New York dressed in a banana-print onesie. Following their wedding, Dunham and her spouse, Luis Felber, adopted Cornichon, a five-year-old mix of Havapoo and Chinese Crested, from the Welsh countryside just a week later. Ingrid has encountered health challenges, such as arthritis and cysts. The couple resides in England and often visits Bellanger bistro. In a Vogue interview, Dunham shares her imaginative voices for her pets and their nicknames, reminiscing about a stormy trip in Cardiff with Ingrid and expressing a desire to visit Machu Picchu with her dogs.
