However, this is only half the truth – archival records confirm the presence of a bulldog on board, but he did not manage to survive.
Since the dog was insured, its owner received an impressive compensation – more than 20 thousand dollars.
Another representative of the breed that went down in history under sad circumstances was Ortipo, the favorite of Princess Tatiana Nikolaevna (daughter of Nicholas II). The dog died along with the mistress during the execution of the royal family.
