Titanic and Its Canine Passengers

The video discusses the well-known story of the RMS Titanic's tragic sinking in 1912, where over 1500 people perished due to insufficient lifeboats. It highlights lesser-known facts about the 12 dogs aboard, mostly owned by wealthy passengers. Only three small dogs survived, as they were kept in staterooms and taken into lifeboats by their owners. Larger dogs in the ship's kennel were freed but couldn't be saved.
