  1. He wrote the act himself.

    So fond was King Charles II of his little dogs, he wrote a decree that the King Charles Spaniel should be accepted in any public place, even in the Houses of Parliament where animals were not usually allowed.

    This decree is still in existence today in England.


  2. It's a royal decree rather than a law passed by Parliament. Charles II, known as 'Old Rowley', was a Stuart and had the instincts of his forebears with regard to the rights of Kings. But the memory of his father's execution by Parliament made him extremely wary of upsetting that institution.

    This royal decree, which at the time was referred to as the 'commons dogging charter', was one small swipe at Parliament. It gave his dogs the right of unimpeded movement through Parliament buildings and Charles had the dogs trained to c**p at strategic points and times in the House of Commons.
