| Sammy the Poodle, 1896 The Royal Collection Noble Hounds & Dear Companions |
One of the many dogs in residence with Queen Victoria was a black poodle named Sammy. Sammy was known to be a good companion and a loving friend to Prince Edward of York while the family stayed at Sandringham. Sammy, it seems, also had a bit of a “fair grounds” side to him. Possessed of remarkable agility, Sammy was known to be able to balance himself—bridge-like—on the backs of two chairs as seen in this 1896 photograph by an unknown photographer. As they say, “Don’t try this at home.”
