Celebrities, Women in History and Dogs




Celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Jessica Simpson weren't the first famous ladies to have a canine best friend. Some of the most famous women in history were dog lovers too!

Anne Boleyn had two dogs- Purkoy and Urian. " The name Urian means "devil's helper," and some pointed to her use of this name as evidence of witchcraft."

Mary Queen of Scots- had a Skye terrier given to her by a French princess.

Queen Henrietta Maria- went back into her house as it was being bombarded by shells and cannonballs to save her furry best friend!

Emily Dickinson- had a 16 year relationship with her Newfoundland dog given to her by her father.
