The article delves into the lesser-known narrative of the dogs that were on the Titanic during its fateful journey. While the tragedy is often framed around the loss of human life, the presence of at least twelve dogs aboard has been documented, with historians suggesting that many more may have been unaccounted for as their status was often logged as cargo. Out of the confirmed canine passengers, only three survived – all small breeds which could be discreetly concealed under coats, allowing them to escape to lifeboats when the ship was sinking. The loss of these animals is often overlooked in discussions about the disaster, even though they too were part of the family units aboard the ship.
