Navratilova and Lemigova own an incredibly cute pet dog, a miniature dachshund. They’ve named the dog Loulou, and for the married couple, Loulou’s nothing short of a queen. As a result, they decided to take Loulou to Paris with them.

However, Lemigova has a lot of spare time on her hands, and she is using it to great effect, as she introduces Loulou to the picturesque Parisian streets.
