Hercules

Hercules was a Greek god and mythological hero known for slaying many dangerous beasts such as Hydra, the Nemean Lion, and the Stymphalian Birds as well as saving Prometheus, holding up the sky for Atlas, and retrieving Alcestis from the underworld. As the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, he had some big shoes to fill, and he filled them from the day he was born. But the Hercules we want to discuss is also known as the Beast and the canine star of the 1993 film, “The Sandlot.”

Interestingly, Hercules from the movie was also a Mastiff, which is a type of Bandog, so he fits into this category quite well. In the film, a group of boys get together and form a baseball team and play at a field they call the sandlot. However, behind the large fence where the boys play, there is a colossal canine reputed to be called the Beast. The Beast steals any ball that goes over the fence. The story of the Beast was actually just a silly story that one of the boys made up.

According to Michael Squints Palledorous, the Beast ate a human and became a giant that kills anyone that steps foot in the junkyard, which is what is behind the fence. There was also a story going around that the Beast ate a boy that came in the yard and that is why he is locked behind the huge fence. So, when one of the boys throws a ball signed by Babe Ruth over the fence, the boys are too scared to go get it.

However, one of the boys named Benny devises a plan to get the ball back, and once he gets over the fence, he realizes the Beast is actually just a Mastiff dog named Hercules. But Hercules was still a massive dog, so when the big pup started chasing Benny, he took off running. When climbing the fence to get away from the Beast, or Hercules, the fence broke and fell on the pooch, trapping him underneath.

Because the boys were dog lovers, they felt terrible for the dog being trapped under the fence, so they decided to let him out. Trying to be careful not to get bit by Hercules the Beast, they all got together and lifted the fence off. Happily, the cunning canine jumped on Benny, but all he did was lick his face as a thank you. After that day, they were all friends, and Hercules dug up all the balls he hid from them and gave them back.

Australian Bandog Dog Name Considerations

Although the Australian Bandog is not a recognized purebred dog breed, these sturdy canine kids have an unofficial standard mix of the Australian Bulldog, American Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Mastiff, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Old English Mastiff. Genghis Khan’s grandson, Kublai Khan, was reported to have used thousands of these pooches in his attack on the Korean Peninsula of Goryeo and Japan. According to historians, the Romans and English did as well. So these big doggos are no stranger to protecting their human partners and will protect you and your family from anyone or anything.

If you have an Australian Bandog, you know how awesome these pooches are, and you are probably looking for a suitable moniker for your new furry family member. There are plenty of positively perfect names for huge dogs like Tank, Goliath, Brutus, and Hulk. However, if you do not want to just go with the obvious and want something different, you could try an Australian name such as Ethan, which is the Australian name for strong or Athena, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt, Nyx is the goddess of light and perfect for a white or yellow pup, and Neptune is the Greek god of the sea and a great choice for a water dog.
