Dash The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Dogs weren’t just thrown at Queen Victoria. She was an avid dog lover since an early age. When she turned 17, her mom gave her a portrait of her dog Dash, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Dash passed in 1840 and was buried in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
His tombstone read: “His attachment was without selfishness, His playfulness without malice, His fidelity without deceit, READER, if you would live beloved and die regretted, profit by the example of DASH.” It sounds like Dash was quite an influential pet.
