Dogs in History
Meet the dogs who shaped history — from ancient legends to modern heroes. Some of these dogs are famous, others long forgotten, but all played a part in the human story.
Their stories live here and are grouped into six themed categories.
Each tale will surprise you, move you, and change the way you think about dogs and history.

The Dogs of The Little Folks of Animal Land
Step aside, TikTok and Instagram pets. Meet the Edwardian pups that were striking poses in costumes over 100 years ago, long before hashtags were a thing.
