After The Queen’s Death, A Dog Expert Shares Heartbreaking News About The Queen’s Corgis

 

Queen Elizabeth II was a passionate dog lover. Corgis became synonymous with her when she was a child, when she fell in love with the breed and wanted one for herself. She became obsessed with the breed at the age of 7. Despite the popularity of corgis in Wales at the time, they were still relatively unknown in her native London. In spite of this, young Elizabeth got two puppies from a breeder and the rest is history.

Her loyal companions were well cared for throughout the rest of their lives. As a result, Queen Elizabeth owned more than 30 corgis and corgi-dachshund mixes, referred to as dorgis (via People).

Her passion for the breed was so strong that the world witnessed the first corgi derby during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations! At the time of her death, she had four dogs, including a dorgi, a cocker spaniel, and two corgis. According to a dog expert, her pups may be grieving deeply.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, royal fans were concerned about what would happen to her beloved dogs. NBC’s “Today” reports a fan even asked William, the Prince of Wales, about the dogs’ well-being outside Westminster Abbey. “I saw them last week, and it made me quite sad,” he told him. He assured the fan that the dogs would be well-cared for.

While corgis do not grieve like humans, they can certainly feel a loss. Dog expert John Smith told the Daily Mail that the queen’s beloved corgis may be deeply mourning her passing.

The symptoms of these feelings include whining, pacing, howling, loss of appetite, fidgeting, insomnia, anxiety, and lethargy, Smith said. Even though the corgis won’t fully comprehend the extent of the queen’s death, they’ll understand the emotion of missing someone who’s no longer there due to their intuitiveness.”

Much like humans, corgis experience depression from time to time, but they will eventually adapt.
