Lupo, an English Cocker Spaniel, has been the face of the breed for several years and is responsible for the gain in the breed’s popularity across the pond.
The pooch is the offspring of a dog owned by Kate’s parents … and Lupo was happily adopted by William.
Lupo, which means wolf in Italian, is responsible for Prince George … well, sort of. Back when Kate was pregnant, she and Harry reportedly wrote a bunch of names on paper, which were strewn across their floor. They turned Lupo loose to see which piece of paper he would tap … sure enough, it was the one bearing the name George.
Lupo was 9.
RIP
