Keep: erm, there's no mention of pets on WP:BIO, maybe because it's actually Wikipedia:Notability (people) and animals aren't people. That aside, the article has a wealth of pertinent information and bears no relationship to Rubble (cat), whose sole claim to fame is longevity. Leutha (talk) 18:22, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It looks like Konni has received quite a bit of coverage over the years as Putin's dog, especially the incident with Angela Merkel in 2007 which has been discussed in Der Spiegel (cited in the article) as expressing a chill in German/Russian relations. Rubble, the cat referred to in the nomination, is up for deletion because they're just an old cat who had the title of "longest living cat" for a little while. Konni is clearly a different case. — Toughpigs (talk) 22:19, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
