At the end of August, Victoria had announced that the family was about to receive a dog, but had not yet revealed the name or officially confirmed the breed. Now, images shared by her show that the puppy is a dachshund and is named Joe.
In an Instagram post, Victoria appeared inside the car with the dog next to her mother, Sophie Kumpen. Introducing the new member, she wrote: “We brought our dog home. This is Joe, the new member of our family. We are already completely in love with him. Welcome home, little Joe!”
After the arrival, the puppy seems to have quickly adapted to the new environment. Victoria posted several videos of Joe running around the house, while her children also had immediate contact with the dog and appear playing with him.
