Henry VIII was fond of dogs


 Henry VIII was fond of dogs 

🐕 and he had a spaniel named Cutte and another dog named Ball.

Both of them had a tendency to get lost which caused Henry great discomfort. He would offer a substantial reward. Cutte, for instance, disappeared in May 1530 and than again in February 1531.

The dog was wearing a high quality and distinctive collar of velvet and cloth of gold emblazoned with the king's initials . These features helped tracking him down.

The chains were sometimes made of silver or silk . Anyone who found the dogs have been in no doubt as to their owner.
