Just before Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96, she suffered one final heartbreak at the news of her eldest dog's death. Candy, the Queen's oldest dog and longest-surviving dorgi - a cross between a dachshund and a Welsh corgi - sadly died soon after she arrived in the Scottish Highlands at the beginning of summer.
Her Majesty was a huge animal lover and devoted pet owner, having cared for countless dogs during her 70-year reign. Candy outlived every dorgi and spent 18 special years by the Queen's side - but despite her extreme old age, Her Majesty was said to be 'distraught' by the loss.
