Prince William and Kate get a puppy!
Prince William and Kate get a puppy! [People]
It's no baby, but it's the next best thing, and it's sure to keep tabloids happy for at least a couple months, right?
A palace source says the adopted puppy – a male – is a "few months old," is a black cocker spaniel and comes from a litter "with a close family connection." The Middletons are known to fancy spaniels. The Westminster Kennel Club had earlier told PEOPLE that the cocker spaniel looked to be about 10 weeks old. With a name still to be announced, the puppy will no doubt help Kate deal with William's absence when he heads for a deployment to the Falkland Islands, in the south Atlantic for six weeks. And he may be good successor to William's dog Widgeon, a black Labrador who passed away about two years ago.
