Book Dog Names

"In dog training, jerk is a noun, not a verb."
Dr. Dennis Fetko

To show off a love of literature or a favorite novel, try these book dog names for ideas.

Did you grow up living one of these weepies: "Old Yeller," "Sounder," or "Where the Red Fern Grows"? Then browse our list of puppy names to rekindle that passion you had from ago.





Another fun way to name a pet is by honoring your favorite author. Ever heard of Marla,, Stephen King's dog? What about Wessex, who (hopefully) perked up Thomas Hardy (because let's face it...the guy was a bit of a downer). Got a soft spot for romantic poetry? Then try Boatswain, a nod to Lord Byron's own pooch.

When you've selected a name, don't forget to pick out a dog ID tag for your pup! Learn why it's important to tag your dog.
