It's Lupo: Royal couple name their dog

England's Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have named the cocker spaniel puppy they adopted last month.

The British newspaper The Telegraph reported yesterday that on a recent visit to Rose Hill Primary School in Oxford, Middleton was handed a toy dog the children had chosen for her.

"She said, 'What's it called?,' " said Lisa Hancock, manager of the school's art room, "and we said, 'Would you like to give it a name?' "

Middleton, 30, suggested calling it after her own dog, Lupo. The name, was later confirmed by a St. James's Palace spokesman.
