The King clearly doted on Caesar, who accompanied his master almost everywhere. Caesar would wag his tail and 'smile cheerfully' up into his master's eyes when King Edward scolded him for misbehaving. Such was their mutual devotion that Caesar wandered the corridors of Buckingham Palace in search of his master in the days following the King's death on 6 May 1910. Caesar's final duty was to walk behind the King's coffin, led by a Highlander, in the funeral procession from Westminster to Paddington on 20 May 1910.
