There are several reasons why Meghan Markle [1] and Prince Harry are a perfect match [2]: they both enjoy helping others [3], they both have a way with kids [4], and they both have similar family values [5], but perhaps the cutest reason is that they both share a love of animals [6]. Prior to moving to the UK and tying the knot [7] with Harry, Meghan was the proud owner of two rescue dogs [8], Guy and Bogart. Guy ended up moving to the UK with Meghan, while Bogart stayed behind in Canada with one of her pals. Since becoming a royal, we've gotten to see Meghan bond with animals during her public engagements [9], and in August 2018, the couple even adopted a Labrador Retriever [10] named Oz.
The Duchess of Sussex also penned a heartfelt forward for Mayhew's 2018 review [11]. Meghan is a patron of the charity [12], which works to improve "the lives of dogs, cats and people in communities both in London and internationally." "As a proud rescue dog owner, I know from personal experience the joy that adopting an animal into your home can bring," she wrote. "The choice to adopt a pet is a big decision that comes with much responsibility but infinite return on the investment. It will undoubtedly change your life." If you're in need of pick-me-up today, here are a bunch of cute photos of Meghan with animals.
