20 Hilarious Photos of the Cute Canines Named after TV & Movie Classics

Naming your dog child is one of the most significant things you can do in this life. It will determine what name or phrase you will be yelling in public for the next ten years minimum, and as such it should be a name or word that you are ok with saying a multitude of times and in front of large crowds of people.

Which is why we were particularly interested in the idea behind naming one's dog child after a TV or movies classic, after all, the tides of entertainment shift so quickly and suddenly, it can be hard to keep up with what is coming next. So instead of looking forward, these pupper pawrents wanted to remain firmly rooted in the past with a pupper name that would remind them of their favorite viewing content, even after it gets cancelled both by the network and the public.
