Man's best friend is, and always has been, dog. However, I'm left wondering this morning whether man is a dog's best friend. According to new research, we're ditching more traditional names for our pets and naming them after our favourite celebrities. Which means Bailey has become Bono, Bella has become Becks and you can now have your crotch sniffed by Lady Gaga. Think about it - what pet is going to thank its owner for a name like Beyonce?!
On this morning's Heart Breakfast I asked how YOUR pet got its name? One lady text into say she'd named her cats after Arsenal legends Freddie, Dixon and Brady (I'm guessing Ljunberg, Lee and Liam respectively) Helen emailed to say that her old cat used to steal women's underwear and was thus given the name Magpie!
Alison from London Colney told us about her family hamster.
Caine from Hemel Hempstead bravely called up and told us about his beautiful 'Staffy'.
Cynthia had a stroppy dog. Sounds like she behaved like my son!
No celeb induced name here - Vikki's dog is far more Elm Street than Coronation Street
Finally, a dog that can walk on two legs and cast spells.
After all of this inspiration, I almost want a pet for myself.
Almost.
