‘Evelaina The English Mastiff
Another gift given to royalty was ‘Evelaina. Kamehameha III of Hawaii and ‘Evelaina became two peas in a pod once they got together. They were so close that once he died, ‘Evelaina would protect his tomb day and night nonstop. ‘Evelaina would only take a break to eat before getting back to her post.
Then came the time for ‘Evelaina to pass. Seven years after Kamehameha III was gone, his son had a coffin made for her under a tree. That tree was located in front of the chapel where her owner was put away. Now ‘Evelaina is watching him forever.
