Titanic Canines

There were around 10 dogs on the TITANIC. John Jacob Astor had 2 Airedales on the ship
and was last seen walking Kitty on the promenade. Robert Daniels brought Champion French Bulldog named Gamin De Pycombe. Archibald Gracie came face to face with him when he was letting the dogs out of the kennel. Someone from Collapsible A saw him swimming. Robert Daniels later married a fellow survivor and started "Pycombe Memorial
Hospital" in Pennsylvania. Ann Isham refused to get into a lifeboat without her St Bernard, Toujours saying" I have raised him from a small pup; I can't abandon him now." A German ship called the Bremen, Reportedly spotted an elderly woman with a large dog in her arms, floating on the sea. The Carters brought two King Charles Spaniels along and kept them in their cabin except when some sailors took them for a walk. The Bishops brought along a Frou Frou but left him in their cabin deciding that human life was more valuable, said good bye, and locked him in his cage in their cabin. As Robert
Ballard passed by some cabins, he thought he heard barking.Only Margret Hayes' Pomeranian and Henry Sleeper Harper's Peninske survived.
