My trail of research on the Princess of Wales and her chows, lead me to this charming book written in 1896 from the point of view of a traveling pug dog named “Tony”.  The dog tells of his travels with his master to visit the dogs and pets of Royalty throughout  England and beyond.   The story I am inserting below tells of the favorite dog of the Princess of Wales (later to be Queen Alexandra) and her own constant traveling companion chow named “Plumpy”

My guess is that Plumpy didn’t spend much time in the Royal kennels you see above, but was one of the “house” dogs of Sandringham.   If you would like to read the rest of the stories within the pages of this wonderful book….CLICK HERE

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.
