And when she was asked to chews tonight’s winner she was in absolutely no doubt.
Willow, who watched Scotland’s abject 2-0 defeat to the Czech Republic, did not even paws to mull it over.
She was so certain of victory she took hold of Scotland’s Saltire flag and pulled it to pieces to double down on her prediction.
Owner Charlotte Price, 30, said: “Willow’s got a 100 per cent record so far after predicting an England win against Croatia.
“She’s got off to the best possible start – just like England.
“And after watching Scotland the other day she is in no doubt who will come out on top at Wembley.
“There wasn’t a moment’s hesitation. We tried it a number of times and each time she picked England.
“She doesn’t see anything other than another win.”
Willow, who has pedigree when it comes to predicting major events, even had time to bask in the glow of her first triumphant prediction against Croatia.
The nation’s most intelligent dog – who has been tipped for stardom herself – took a moment to read our story from last week.
But then it was down to work.
Willow, who can count to ten, spell her own name and identify shapes, was presented with three bowls.
We stuck a football in each one and labelled them with a flag for England, Scotland and a third for the draw.
The three bowls were placed in different positions this time to ensure strictly controlled scientific conditions.
Special needs teacher Charlotte, of Baildon, West Yorks., then asked her: “Who is going to win – England, Scotland, or do you think it’ll end in a draw? Show me.”
Before Charlotte even had time to finish the word ‘draw’ Willow had pounced on England – and was so sure she almost knocked the ball out of the bowl.
Her skills echo those of tentacled tipster Paul the Octopus, who successfully predicted the results of Germany’s seven matches at the 2010 World Cup.
The patriotic cockapoo was again wearing her England shirt for the prediction and was sat in front of a giant St George’s flag.
Charlotte started training Willow as a pup in 2018 and quickly moved on to tricks.
She chose between her teddy and a ball – and letters and numbers. Willow gets a treat for every five she identifies.
She also picks out shapes, including her favourite, the pentagon.
