My favorite dog, my favorite dog's name. Enough said.

Have you ever met a dog named Oscar who didn't want to lick your face? No, I didn't think so. I've met dozens of Oscars and they were all great.

Picture a beautiful black Labrador, Weimaraner mix. A great name for a big, sweet dog who looks good in t-shirts and eats anything not nailed down.

Every dog is named Buddy, whether the dog's family knows it or not. It's the quintessential dog name because every dog is someone's buddy.

This is my friend's dog's name. I haven't met this dog in person, I've just seen his photo. But he looks like a Lightnin'.

This was my first dog - a beagle. He was named after the cartoon character and he was always in trouble. I wrote a paper about him when I was in second grade.

My friend Marthy had a huge German Shepherd named Bear when I was in college. And he was a big ol' lumbering bear.

This was my sister's dog. She lost him last winter. Sonny was a cute little miniature Schnauzer and had a "feel good" name.

I always wanted a dog named Larry. I finally met one about a month ago. He was a mutt, and super smart.

Our neighbor's dog is a friendly Golden Retriever named Dusty. She made the top ten because she has a great name and because she is Jenna's cousin.
