Duchess Camilla brought a special guest to help her unveil new kennels at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home rescue centre on Dec. 9 – her rescue pup, Beth!

The Jack Russell terrier got very involved in helping her reveal a plaque during an outing – and you'll love the hilarious, sweet photos from their day out.

Outside the centre, it was time to unveil the plaque.

"They say you should never work with animals and now, with the help of Beth, I'm going to attempt how to unveil a building with the help of a dog," Camilla quipped as the two did the honours.

Beth then grabbed the sheet and helped pull it off the wall.

When we said she got really into helping, we did mean *really* into it. She wouldn't let go of the sheet – because there was a treat on the end encouraging her participation!

"Anyone would think you've never been fed," Camilla laughed.

The two really enjoyed their time at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, with Beth jumping up and down in excitement at the event, and also checking out a table full of holiday goodies.

We bet Beth will get her own stocking at home over the Christmas holidays!

Before leaving, she gave a dog named Sandy a Christmas stocking which included a stuffed animal corgi!

Rescue animals are important to Camilla, who has been a patron of the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home since 2017.

In addition to Beth, the duchess also has a rescue dog named Bluebell.

Before Camilla and Beth said goodbye for the day, the duchess helped hang a very appropriate corgi ornament on the centre's tree.
