Meghan Markle’s dog has become one of the unexpected feelgood stories of the Meghan and Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding.

Thousands of people shared a photo over the weekend, which showed Meghan’s Beagle – named Guy – spotted sitting in the car next to the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II!

The picture was reportedly taken on Friday, on the eve of this year’s most famous wedding, and the Queen was doing what mothers-in-law often do – a little dog-sitting for Meghan, while the former actress was busy with her wedding arrangements!

Guy’s ‘rags to royalty’ story has warmed the hearts of dog-lovers around the world, especially those who advocate adopting from shelters rather than buying from pet shops.

Guy was a stray Beagle, found in the woods of Kentucky, USA, in 2015. A good samaritan took him to the local shelter… but sadly he wasn’t adopted.

Fortunately, in the 11th hour, the shelter contacted a rescue group – A Dog’s Dream Rescue – and they agreed to take him 500 miles away to Canada.

It was there, at an adoption event in Ontario, that an actress saw the Beagle and fell in love with him. The actress was Meghan, in Canada to film Suits. She adopted him, and named him Guy.

Two years later, in November 2017, A Dog’s Dream Rescue, excitedly reported: “Well it’s official!!! Spring of 2018 will mark the date that one of our rescued Beagles will become part of the ROYAL FAMILY!!!

“Miss Markle currently has two rescue doggies (Guy and Bogart) and according to The Daily Mail, she has described them as “my boys,” and said they “mean the absolute world” to her. Best yet: Guy has already arrived in the UK to live with her ❤ How is that for a rags to riches story from a good ole Kentucky Beagle! ??? Adopt, don’t shop! ❤”

The once abandoned dog now lives like royalty at Kensington Palace! (According to reports Bogart was too old to travel.)

And apparently Guy was a big hit at the private wedding reception… where he kept eveyone amused, stealing bits of food from the floor, according to Dog’s Dream Rescue.

Apparently the rescue group already has one other adopted pup that’s become part of royalty. Nana Akua Makafui claims that she adopted a pup, Hammy, from them four years ago, and “I’m a Queen in Ghana, West Africa and we’ve always called Hammy “the Royal Pup” …”
