Princess Charlotte cuddling Orla in the photo marking her seventh birthday
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared the picture of Orla on social media looking a bit wet - either from the rain or from messing around in some water.
The message on their social post said "Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay 🐾🐕🦺"
And if you think you've seen Orla before, you are right! She appeared beside Princess Charlotte for her birthday photo when Charlotte turned seven.
Prince William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II also loved animals, especially horses and dogs, and in particular corgi dogs.
