Choosing a name for a dog often feels like naming a new family member, and in many ways, that’s exactly what it is. While some owners stick with cute, classic picks, others draw inspiration from pop culture, favorite foods, or even inside jokes.
However, in recent years, more and more pet parents are giving their pups distinctly “human” names. A daycare coach in Missouri recently showcased just how funny and surprisingly fitting this can be when she introduced the internet to her pack of canine “coworkers.”
Daycare coach gives dog pack interesting human names in video
A doggy daycare coach from Missouri has gone viral after sharing a clip that reveals the names of the pups she looks after. Set to the upbeat track “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa from the “Barbie” movie, the video introduces each dog with human names you’d expect to hear in an office meeting rather than a play yard. Among the lineup were Hank, Doug, Oliver, Ricky, Nate, Lily, Margo, Layla, Chris, Louie, and Timmy.
Each dog is introduced with playful energy, and their personalities seem to match their names perfectly. Hank and Doug come across as steady and stoic, while Timmy and Louie bring the goofy, lovable vibe. Lily and Margo, on the other hand, seem to carry themselves with a touch of elegance. The daycare coach captioned the post, “We’ve got lots of dogs with human names for your viewing pleasure.”
Reactions poured in with people relating to the joy (and occasional confusion) that comes with human-named pets. One user pointed out, “People’s reactions are hilarious when you call out to your dog with a human name.” Another wrote, “Awww they all look like they have personalities that match their names too.”
A netizen joked about the awkwardness of calling their dog in public, only to realize a neighborhood kid had the same name. Others joined in by sharing their own examples, with one exclaiming, “I have a dog named Molly! Would love to throw her into the mix of these human-named doggies.”
