Dog Names ending in ter

Introduction

Choosing the name of your newest family member can be a challenge, whether that family member is furry and four-legged or of the human species. Needless to say, because it can be a challenge, many pet parents opt for names which may not be as exciting or personal as they could be just to get the job done and move on to something "more important". While, admittedly, there are many other things which are important, let's not discount the importance of naming that lovable lump of fur who's curled up, sleeping contentedly in your lap. We want to help the naming process be more fun for everyone.

Featured Famous Dog With a Name Ending in 'ter'

Snitter

Snitter is a courageous canine from the animated TV series The Plague Dogs, which was adapted from the book of the same name by Richard Adams. The story surrounds two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, who are subjects of scientific experimentation in a British laboratory. The two escape from the laboratory and the story that is told in the book is an insightful and heartfelt one from the perspective of Rowf and Snitter. The author, Richard Adams, also wrote an amazing book, Watership Down, which, if you have read and enjoyed could lead you to want to read The Plague Dogs as well. A word of caution should be given here, while The Plague Dogs is well written and provides a lyrical as well as engrossing tale about the journey of these two dogs, it is likely not one in which you will want to involve your children, especially if they are animal lovers. In the telling of the journey, there are some troubling things brought out about animal cruelty which, for animal lovers, will break your heart.

Utilizing the name Mister, we look at Mister Peabody, a dog from the delightful cartoon TV series Rocky and Bullwinkle, which aired in the 1950's and 1960's. Mister Peabody is the smartest being in existence. His first name is Hector, but no one uses it ... he is simply referred to as "Mister Peabody" or "Peabody" in the animated TV series. He is quite successful, being an accomplished business magnate, Nobel laureate, gourmand, scientist and even an Olympic winner (two times). Like many of we humans, his life, though successful, seems to be lacking in something, with loneliness and sadness darkening many a day in his life. He decides to adopt a human child as his son. Mister Peabody happens to meet Sherman in an alley and rescues him from bullies just because he is a nice guy. After this incident, he becomes aware that Sherman has been orphaned and is homeless. Needless to say, two lives are joined to fill the gaps which both feel.

These pop culture dogs make it very apparent that canines have hearts and feelings, and those feelings are much like our human ones. They give us important reminders that canines need love and good treatment just as much as we humans.
