Dog Names Meaning Leader

Edward was the firstborn son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, commandeering the vast territories of the United Kingdom. This important job is quite a handful, as you could imagine. Good thing nothing lifts the spirits quite like the company of your favorite dog. Caesar was Albert's constant companion through all the stress of leading the British people. In fact, they were described as inseparable, making Caesar quite a big part of ruling the Kingdom.

Leaders usually have numerous likenesses produced and preserved through the ages. Caesar the Terrier became an icon because of all the paintings, and even statues created by the famous House of Faberge. These royal representations painted a picture of a lovely friendship and close family ties despite not being of the same species. This relationship indirectly assisted the rule of the crown through giving stress relief, happiness, and general companionship with the late King Edward. 

His role in the British monarchy was so pronounced that during the death of his owner in 1910, the Terrier was part of the procession. The intrepid dog walked the procession ahead of some kings and heads of state - concrete proof about his untouchable position. He was Edward's best friend and leader in his own right. The loyal pup was miserable after the death of his owner, only to be encouraged to live normally again with the help of the Queen. 

Even after the passing of Edward, Caesar's fame lived on. Being featured in a book and several other portraits, some sculptures, and even in stuffed toy form made the dog an icon that's recognizable to all. He has a splendid resting place at Marlborough House and immortalized in the life of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. That is quite the story to tell for one innocent dog, but he has truly become such an important and recognizable figure in UK history.
