Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong affection for dogs was well-known. She owned dozens of Welsh corgis, her favorite breed, and was regularly seen with them loyally by her side.
The breed, known for its distinctive short legs and pointy ears, has become synonymous with the monarch.
According to the American Kennel Club, the Queen had two Pembroke Welsh corgis, Muick and Sandy, as well as an older, mixed-breed "dorgi" called Candy. A cocker spaniel, Lissy, reportedly joined the gang in January.
The corgis will now live with the Duke and Duchess of York, Andrew and Sarah, a source close to the Duke of York told CNN on Sunday. It is unclear where Candy and Lissy will be going.
Here's a look back at the Queen and her furry friends through the years.
