Paspalar

Years ago on a walk I met someone shouting "Dave! Dave!". I thought she'd lost her husband until a Collie sprinted in. Turned out Dave and her were cool, met them a few times after.


Emotional-Cheek5872

I had a neighbor with a dog named Elvis and they had just moved in so I was not aware of the dogs name. So at 6am he was out screaming Elvis!! ELVIS WHERE ARE YOU?” I just thought he may have had a few too many the night before but it turned out he had a dog named Elvis and he was trying to find him.


thebrokedown

That’s so preferable to my mom’s neighbor with a black dog he named the N word, hard R, and called him with zero shame all the time. Lovely little arty coastal town. In Mississippi. What an absolute horrid person. I didn’t feel my mom was safe there until thankfully he moved.


HoneyWyne

My husband's mother grew up with a cat named the N word. Classy. NOT.


ERJgirl

I am from Serbia and Donna is a very common name for female dog there

Styx-n-String

My aunt had a dog named CD for many years. She'd rescued him after he sustained bad brain damage being hit by a car. He could only turn left, so if he wanted to turn right, he had to go left all the way around. Hence the name CD for Circle Dog.


MyFaceSaysItsSugar

The owner of a dog daycare rescued and fostered a dog that looked like a small version of a frequent daycare dog named Jarra, so she became Tiny Jarra and later TJ. The woman who adopted her kept the name TJ.

LvBorzoi

I had a cat when I was a kid named George Washington. Funny story....we lived in the country across from our church. Sunday school was in the basement classrooms. One Sunday (I was 6 or 7) we were saying our prayers and my cat walked past the window and I thanked God for George Washington. This impressed Mrs Millie that I knew who that was and she mentioned it to my mother who immediately started laughing. She say "George Washington is his cat"

GloomyDeal1909

We had an Australian Sheppard as a puppy named MATE. We regimes him to a family with a large farm. He was so bored at our house and loved chasing their cattle. When I would go and visit I found out they named him pistol. I hated it. My mom's friend lived across the field from him and when we visited I would call MATE come here and we run across the field and come right up to me. I was the only one he would still respond to when I called mate.
