Saxe-Coburg Watch: Prince Woof
12/18/2009 :: Prince Laurent, the youngest legitimate child of Belgium’s King Albert II, loves dogs. A couple of years ago, Laurent, whose nickname is “Prince Woof,” wrote a book on dogs. Last Summer, when his favourite canine died, the Prince had the animal put in a freezer at the University of Ghent because he could not part with it. On All Saints Day, the Prince decided the time had come to bid his favourite dog farewell and have the animal cremated.
Prof. Koen Chiers of the pathology department at Ghent, and his staff had to “reassemble” the dog. “The limbs were deformed because the dead animal had been lying on the cold floor for a long time,” the professor told the Belgian press. “We had to dry the hairs and bend the limbs back into a natural shape.”
When the Prince arrived, all staff had to leave the room so that Laurent could be alone with his old friend. “It was an emotional moment,” the Prince told the media afterwards. “People get attached to their pets. It hurts when they die. All Saints Day is a perfect day to remember our darling pets.”
