Throughout her reign, Queen Elizabeth II was a huge animal lover and owned countless dogs, including more than 30 of her favourite breed, the beloved Welsh corgi. The royal corgis are well-known all across the world for being closely associated with the Queen, and have had numerous statues and works of art dedicated to them.
It is believed the Queen owned a few beloved pet dogs before she passed away - two corgis, named Muick and Sandy who became official residents of Buckingham Palace in 2021, and were presents from her son Prince Andrew. Muick, named after a beauty spot near Balmoral Castle, was a gift in February, and her latest corgi, believed to be named Sandy, was a birthday present in June.
