Downing Street has a new pet dog

Britain's famous Downing Street has a new resident.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has bought home a cat-friendly Bichon Frise puppy, Lola.
"Welcome to the new resident of Downing St. The kids have called her Lola," Osborne said, announcing the new arrival on his Twitter feed.
He also posted a picture of the cuddly dog.
It is understood that Osborne and his wife Frances bowed to long-standing demands from their 12-year-old son Luke and 10-year-old daughter Liberty, the BBC reported.
The family already have a cat called Freya, which took up residence in the street in 2012. Lola is said to be "cat friendly".

Britain's political leaders have traditionally plumped for cats over canines, with Prime Minister David Cameron introducing a four-year old tabby called Larry to No 10 in 2011 in an effort to deal with No 10's rat problem.

Other recent Downing Street cats, known unofficially as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, include former Chancellor Alistair Darling's cat Sybil and Humphrey, who was adopted in 1989 as a stray while Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.
The dog is likely to have cost Osborne over 400 pounds, The Mirror reported.
Osborne in a later tweet said that Lola had already been active on the business front.

"Thanks for all the messages. Some early issues with toilet training ... But we don't care. We love her," he said in his message to his 65,000 followers on Twitter.
A Bichon Frise is a small breed of dog.
Downing Street in London has for over 300 years housed the official residences of two of the most senior British Cabinet ministers: the First Lord of the Treasury, an office now synonymous with that of Prime Minister; and the Second Lord of the Treasury, an office held by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
While the Prime Minister's official residence is 10 Downing Street, the Chancellor's residence is next door at Number 11.
