Mary Queen Of Scots’ Maltese
The life of Mary was one of turmoil. She never had a secure throne (which would make anybody’s life a bit hectic). And to make things worse, her cousin, Queen Elizabeth of England, feared that Mary would try and take her throne so she kept her prisoner. The only comfort she had were her Maltese Terriers.
Mary had been found guilty of plotting to off Elizabeth so she was sentenced to death by beheading. When she was walking to the scaffold, she had one of her dogs hiding under her skirt. Only afterward did the dog come from hiding and the little fella had to be dragged away. The act of loyalty brought emotion to even her worst enemies.
