Introduction
You, as a caregiver, have an innate desire to nurture and protect. You understand what it means to care for another life, to have another being depend on you for their well-being. It’s a responsibility you don’t take lightly – just like the Queen and her famous corgis.
The Queen’s Love for Her Dogs
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, is well known for her love of corgis. Her first corgi, Dookie, was a constant companion in her childhood. As you may understand, caring for Dookie allowed the young queen to develop empathy and a deep sense of responsibility.
Over the years, the Queen has owned more than 30 corgis, each one cherished and cared for with the same level of devotion that you, as a caregiver, can relate to.
What Happens When They Pass Away?
Just as you would mourn the loss of a loved one, the Queen deeply grieves the passing of her beloved pets. They are buried in the royal pet cemetery at Sandringham, a testament to the Queen’s enduring love and respect for her canine companions.
| Pet’s Name | Year of Passing |
|---|---|
| Dookie | 1947 |
| Susan | 1959 |
| Willow | 2018 |
Ensuring Continuity of Care
The Queen ensures that her dogs are well cared for even in her absence. Staff members are entrusted with their care, following strict routines set by the Queen herself.
- Regular feeding times

The Queen’s dedication to her dogs’ care sets an example that resonates with you, as a caregiver.
