This Is What's Going To Happen To Queen Elizabeth's Dogs

Queen Elizabeth II left behind more than a historic reign, she also left behind a very small, very royal family of dogs. For decades, her corgis were part of her public image, and their place in her life became almost as famous as the Queen herself.

After her death, attention quickly turned to what would happen to the dogs she loved so much. The answer involves Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, along with a long-running royal connection that goes back to the Queen's first corgi.

Here's what happened next.

She left behind four dogs: two Pembroke Welsh Corgis (which were her favorite breed), Sandy and Muick; a Cocker Spaniel named Lissy; and a Corgi-Dachshund mix adorably named Candy.

It's quite clear that the Queen had a fondness for corgis, and we completely understand. Those little legs are the cutest thing ever, and a Corgi-Dachshund mix is as adorable as it sounds.

The Queen's dogs were always part of the story.

And in a totally different kind of heartbreak, Lily Allen gave up her adopted dog because her kids couldn’t see their father for months.

There are photos of Queen Elizabeth II with her dogs throughout her entire reign, which show just how much she loved them.

The corgis always had a special place in the Queen's heart, as evidenced by the fact that she owned more than 30 corgis throughout her 70-year reign. If that's not enough proof that she adored corgis, then I don't know what is.

The Queen's first dog was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who was gifted to her for her 18th birthday.

Many people wondered what would happen to the Queen's dogs after her passing, and we have the answer for you. CNN reported that the corgis would be adopted by the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

The reason for this is that Andrew was the one who gifted the corgis to his mother.

Her dogs lived on for years, but see how an Australian cattle dog reached 29 days in Bluey.
