Sophie & Jasper
Human: Jody M. of Bark and Swagger Sophie - She came from a farm in Oxfordshire, England and when I saw her picture before my husband brought her home, I immediately thought of our adorable English niece, Sophie. They’re both light haired and cute. Of course, I asked my sister-in-law for permission to name our dog after her daughter. She thought both Sophies were pretty adorable, so she gave us her blessing on the spot! Jasper - Jasper was rescued from a high kill shelter in

Belle & Lacey
Human: Jason of Talking to Animals These two adorable pups came into our lives when we visited the local Dogs Trust to find a new family member. They are sisters and had been handed in together at 9 months old. We only went for one dog but we couldn’t let them be separated so we brought them both home! The Dogs Trust had already given them their names and we liked them so they still have them today. I am an animal communicator and healer and my website is www.talkingtoanimal

Tippet & Scout
Human: Jill G. We love fishing, specifically fly fishing. The ''tippet'' is a section of fishing line attached to the end of the line to which the artificial fly is attached. We wanted a name to reflect one of our outdoor interests that we share together as a couple, and Tippet seemed like a fun name for a dog! Our other dog Scout was named for the narrator / main female character in To Kill A Mockingbird. #pupnameprofiles #puppyname #dogname #tippet #scout #australianshepher

Brandy
Human: Fran and Marvin R. Her name was Candy and that just seemed so unsophisticated for such a regal lady. Thought she'd respond to Brandy easily. ... She was also a rich reddish brown -- the color of a well aged brandy. #pupnameprofiles #puppyname #dogname #poodle

Pearl
Human: Deborah G. This is my sister’s dog Pearl. Pearl is about 12-14 years old and was a service dog for an elderly man who had passed away alone in his apartment with her. He was there for several days before neighbors called emergency services, worried because they hadn’t seen him and he didn’t answer the door. My sister was the paramedic who answered the call. They found Pearl under the bed afraid to come out. She was taken by animal control and kept for 10 days in qu

Miss B
Human: Deborah G. Her name was Bear when we got her at seven months. But we'd already had a Bear ... years ago. So her name was changed to Miss B or B, a more girly version of Bear. We’ve had her for five years now and she’s been a delightful puppy, the best of all our dogs rolled into one. #dogname #mostpopulardognames #puppyname #goldenretriever #pupnameprofiles

Ruby Pearl
Human: Lara W. Ruby Pearl is my recently-adopted one-year-old Border-Collie/Jack Russell mix. About a month before I adopted her (and before I lost my two old dogs and was not planning to get a dog any time soon), I was reading the book Helter Skelter written by the prosecuting attorney for the Manson case. He described interviewing a witness at the ranch where the Manson Family hid out - a tough, seasoned horse wrangler named Ruby Pearl. Despite the dark tone of the book, sh

Arfur & Vito
Human: Beth H. We have two rescued Basset Hounds. The first, Arfur T. Leadbottom has a heavy butt and does not jump well. He also has a big mouth - hence ARF-ur. We changed it from Arthur. Our other guy was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn as a little pup. His name: Don "Vito" Barkeleone. We call him Vito. Turns out he's part dachshund and part bloodhound. He has a formidable nose. He also bosses his older, larger brother. #dogs #dognames #cutedogpics #foodnames #doggi

Baba Ghanoush
Human: Eva M. My newest addition is a rescue pup that we named Baba Ghanoush. We call her Noushy for short. She’s a 6-month-old Mini Poodle/Havanese. My partner has always wanted a dog named Baba Ghanoush, and we adopted this girl on Christmas Eve this year. #dogs #dognames #cutedogpics #foodnames #doggienames #dogpictures #cutedogs #dogname #dog #puppynames #pupnameprofiles

Sid
Human: Jennifer S. Here's a picture of my eight year old Cairn Terrier, Sid. I brought him home when he was six months old, and couldn't decide on a name that fit. One day, a few of my nieces were sitting in the kitchen with me, and I asked them for some ideas. Among all the suggestions, my one niece was looking at a box of Rice Krispies. Ice Age the movie had just come out at that time, and a cartoon of the characters was on the box. She yells out, "Sid the Sloth!" And there
