Some of the best dog names we've ever heard include:
  • Cheerio
  • Klaus
  • Grinch
  • Sneakers
  • Kermit the Dog
  • Doughnut
  • Gladys
  • Trevor
  • Nox (perfect for a black dog, since "nox" is Latin for "night")
  • Yeti (this one's great for a dog that's all white)
  • Rufus (we stand by a classic)

....my friend has a dog named Sarah...
I thought this was funny because I thought Sarah was his girlfriend when he said
"I need to get home because Sarah will be waiting for me."
and I was like "OH ok, ok, yea go home" thinking it was his girlfriend....
a week later he texts me a pic of his dog saying "Isnt Sarah cute"

and that's when I knew................................................
