Featured Famous Dog With a Name that Starts with 'Cr'

Crosby

What would you do if you came home from work on an otherwise normal-appearing day and found a strange animal which had been invited into your home...by your dog? Well, this is exactly the story which surrounds our first dog with a name that starts with "Cr" in pop culture. Crosby is a dog who loves other dogs and kitties, in fact, he has been in the company of them all of his life...that is, until he lost his two best friends (another dog and a cat), both within 6 months. He had been playing, sleeping and living with them since he was 8 weeks old and their passing left a big hole in his canine life. Crosby's owner came home from work and, instead of being greeted by the excited happy antics of his dog, Crosby instead lead him to the bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom, he found a kitten in the bathtub! He attempted to locate the owner of the kitty and even took her to the vet to ascertain if she had been micro chipped. He was told she was not and that, if he took her to the local animal shelter, she would likely be euthanized as there was no room for new arrivals. Crosby's owner was now faced with a decision - and, well, she did, after all, resemble very closely the kitty that he and Crosby had lost about six months ago... As you can imagine, the decision was made to make her a part of his family ... a decision that made Crosby VERY happy, indeed! Crosby and the kitten have bonded and are virtually inseparable. Isn't it strange how Crosby knew how to take matters into his own paws and remedy his loneliness problem?

Our second dog with a name that starts with "Cr" is Crab. Are you a fan of Shakespeare? Have you read any of his literary works? If you know anything at all about Shakespeare, then you may have noticed that in all of his histories, comedies, tragedies and tragicomedies, you don't see any mention of canines - except for Crab. Crab is the only dog found in Shakespearean works and he is found in The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Crab, played by Oliver, a 65-pound shaggy mutt, has no lines and is present in only one scene. His attitude and gait are quite comical and it is no wonder that he becomes a favorite of audiences in this comedy produced by the Shakespeare Theater Company in Washington.

Dog Name that Starts with 'Cr' Considerations

If you're a new pet parent, or even if this isn't your first "rodeo", you are, no doubt, a bit dubious about one of the responsibilities which accompany pet ownership - specifically, picking a name for your newest furry family member. If you have children, you already know that the selection of a name for that new baby is very important. It will identify who that child is to the parents and other family members as well as who the child will become as he or she ages. A name for that new furry family member differs little in its importance and identification. You already love that cuddly little canine who is napping peacefully in your lap and you probably will want to assure that you're giving them a special, if not spectacular, moniker which they will wear for their lifetime. Having said this and agreeing on the importance of that name, just how to begin the process is likely a question that's running through your mind. Many pet parents will utilize the canine's breed, gender, coat color, coat texture, size or some endearing behavior to generate some name ideas. Other pet parents use family names or even alphabetical letter combinations to spur the imagination. May we offer a recommendation? How about dog names that start with "Cr"?
