Family of Dogs
Elton John is a life long dog lover, who reportedly owns over 20 dogs including border terriers, an Irish wolfhound, a Labrador, German shepherds and Spaniels. His Cocker Spaniel, Arthur, (pictured here in 2010) was probably his most well-known fur baby and was the best man at his civil partnership ceremony to David Furnish. Arthur passed away in 2018 at the age of 14. And despite having a classic song called “Honkey Cat”, Elton John doesn’t have any pet cats.
