Famous Dog Names - 10 of the best

Posted by Clare Bristow

scottish-terrier One of the advantages of dogs is that they are themselves. Unlike humans, dogs don't have the need to compare themselves to others and see how they measure up - so choosing a famous dog name will not make your dog feel he has to live up to the name!

I found this great article on the Savvy Dog Lover web site that sets out the 10 Most Famous Dogs of the 20th Century.

There are some [tag]good dog names[/tag] to choose from. If I was choosing a name I'd seriously consider Fala, the name of Franklin Roosevelt's dog which was a Scottish Terrier.

Here are five other famous dog names:

Belka - one of the dogs that went into space aboard Sputnik 5 (Strelka was the other dog);
Barry - a Saint Bernard rescue dog who reputedly saved over 40 people;
Gibson - a Great Dane who is included in the Guinesss Book of Records as the tallest living dog ;
Nipper - the HMV dog; and
Faith - the only known bipedal dog.

I hope this gives you some more ideas for choosing a dog name.
