Rishi Sunak's dog spotted roaming free in Hyde Park while PM walks 'where dogs ... trends now
Rishi Sunak's family was 'reminded of the rules' around walking a dog on a lead when in Hyde Park, the Metropolitan Police said.
It comes after a video was shared on the social media website TikTok appearing to show the Prime Minister and his family allowing their pet dog to roam freely while in Hyde Park.
The video focuses on a notice board saying 'Dogs must be kept on leads' before showing Mr Sunak and what appears to be his wife putting the dog on a leash.
A Met spokesman said: 'We are aware of a video showing a dog being walked off the lead in Hyde Park.
'An officer, who was present at the time, spoke to a woman and reminded her of the rules. The dog was put back on the lead.'
