This statue portrays Prince Albert’s pet greyhound, Eos. The Prince was given her as six-week-old puppy. Although he was only 14 at the time, he brought her up and trained her himself, and she remained his companion until she died on 31 July 1844, when she was ten and a half years old. John Francis, a favourite sculptor of Queen Victoria, exhibited this bronze at the Royal Academy in 1848.
