Yes, as a matter of fact, they did.
Legend has it, King Philip II used cats as well.
The more you know...
It was a symbol of Nobility, and I did research this. Dogs frequently appear in medieval art at the feet of couples. Just like today they are associated with loyalty, and were supposed to be symbolic of a couples devotion to each other. On a slightly less positive note, they are also associated with envy.
Bear baiting was a repugnant form of blood sport: a bear would be chained to a post in the ring, still able to move, but not escape, and dogs would be set on the animal. Spectators would bet on whether it would be the dogs or the bear that would survive the vicious fight that ensued.
Yes, they had lots of dogs. Some are in paintings with their owners.
Walking with clay pots on their heads {with water in them} Camel Wagons pulled by dogs {they thought dogs were big horses in those times}
I did a whole history report on this. It depended on who it was. The rich people would hunt for their feasts in the morning, and gather many people to eat the meat. They ate pottage in stale bread bowls called drenchers and gave any leftovers to dogs. They drank fine wine. The poor people, however, had cheese and maybe a tomato with bread and drank ale.
Yes, they did. There are written accounts of dogs owned by the Nobility. The Charles Spaniel was bred by King Charles. Many animals are featured in paintings with their owners.
cos no one owned the dogs

Yes, medieval people did have pets, although pet ownership was more common among the wealthier classes who could afford to care for animals. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, and even exotic animals like monkeys were kept as pets during medieval times. Pets were valued for companionship, protection, and practical purposes such as hunting.
There were lots of medieval queens, and I am sure more than a few had pets. Members of the nobility kept dogs commonly. I would bet they had cats also.
yes they had dogs cats cows pigs and horses
No, there were no medieval hunting dogs known as mangonels, there were greyhounds, alaunts, or alants, running hounds, mastiffs, lymers, kenets and harriers. A mangonel was a siege engine used for knocking down castle walls.
Symbolism was a major part of Italian/northern Renaissance art, and dogs were used to symbolize loyalty.
