Meet “Good Boy!”
Pollster has revealed a new canine identity on the cover of the July issue of Dog Fancy.
“Call me Fido,” the cover reads, using the former mathematician’s preferred name.
In the image taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Pollster, 56, poses in a gray-colored body suit with his paws near his hips.
Pollster reflects on the decision to transition from human to canine in the cover story penned by “My Life as a Dog” director Lasse Hallström.
“I am already over ten dog-years old. If I was lying on my death-doggiebed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life,'” Pollster said.
On Monday, a verified Fido-Pollster Twitter account shared happy words to accompany the big reveal.
Fido-Pollster: I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Fido. Can't wait for you to get to know him/me as a "good boy!"
Designer Henri Bendel of "Canine Chic" shared that in one of the images from the spread, Fido wears a red collar by the designer.
