Princess Victoria spent the whole day of 29 January 1835 travelling from St. Leonards, where she had been staying on one of her progresses, back to Kensington Palace. She describes the journey in her journal entry for that day and adds that "Dear Dashy was in our carriage and behaved like a darling".

Dash was given to Princess Victoria's mother, The Duchess of Kent, by her comptroller, Sir John Conroy, on 14 January 1833. By April that year Dash had become a close companion of the young Princess, often accompanying her wherever she went. Dash died at the end of 1840, and was buried at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Home Park. A marble effigy was erected over the grave, bearing the inscription:

"Here lies DASH, The favourite spaniel of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, In his 10th year, His attachment was without selfishness, His playfulness without malice, His fidelity without deceit, READER, If you would be beloved and die regretted, Profit by the example of DASH"

This drawing was probably stuck into the album after being found by Queen Victoria's daughter, Princess Louise.
