Into the Woods Dog Names

Introduction

The story of Into the Woods was originally a musical that was written by Stephen Sondheim, which was based off the book by James Lapine. Both versions tell of an intriguing plot where the main characters are taken from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales such as "Jack in the Beanstalk", "Cinderella", "Rapunzel", and "Little Red Riding Hood" and a tale unfolds about a baker and his wife who desire to have a child. Because they cannot, the pair turns to a witch for aid; of course, this type of interaction rarely goes as planned and the couple is cursed instead of blessed with a child. They must then interact with these other fairy tale characters to reverse the curse and journey towards their ultimate goal; having a child of their own. The musical was then turned into a movie by Disney Productions in 2014 and features a much more PG version than the musical (which tends to have some very adult themes throughout). Filled with wonderful music and great actors, such as Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, the movie is a must see for anyone who loves classic fairy tales with a new and exciting twist.

Featured Famous Dog with an Into the Woods Name

Ella Bean

Our famous dog for today has just about the cutest name out there! Ella Bean is a little 4 pound rescue dog and has the sweetest face we've ever seen. Although her story has a shaky beginning, Ella Bean is now happily living out her days with her Lady Human. And not only that, she is a fashion designer dog who has her human make the clothes for her; which is entirely fitting of the little dog's sassy personality if we do say so ourselves.

When Ella Bean was just a puppy, she spent the first part of her existence in a puppy mill. The horrific truth of where those adorable little babies in the pet store windows is enough to break your heart and in Ella's case her human took the time to bring that horror to the surface so more people could educate themselves; and hopefully save the lives of more dogs in need. When Ella was found on Valentine's Day at a shelter outside of Miami, her Lady Human knew that this sickly little dog needed her help. Ella was suffering from severe dental disease along with sores all over her tiny body and was absolutely terrified of the outside world right along with every person who attempted to interact with her.

It took many trips to the vet and countless weeks of working patiently with Ella Bean before her trust, and her health, were restored. Finally, after so much fear and pain, the sweet little girl was able to open up and show affection to the people who had saved her. Now Ella Bean's life is completely different! She is sassy and sweet, surrounded by so many people who love and adore her. The Instagram page that features Ella and her fashions (along with her survival story) has over 116k followers. If you are looking for an adorable account to follow that is full of sweet doggo faces and fashions, then you simply must check out her account.

Although Ella has a happy ending, not all dogs in her same situation do. It is so important to remember that puppy mills should not be supported (AKA pet stores and places that sell pets online) as the animals live like livestock with no proper health care, over breeding, and unsafe living conditions. Help sweet dogs like Ella Bean by donating to programs such as the Human Society of the United States Stop Puppy Mills campaign, or by simply working with reputable (and responsible) breeders. This can make a bigger difference than you know!

Into the Woods Dog Name Considerations

A few dog breed candidates that would fit the theme of this genre perfectly may be the German Shepherd, Leonberger, Great Dane, Rottweiler, Boxer, and the German Spaniel. You may be wondering why these breeds specifically are singled out. Well, the simple answer is because the Grimm Brothers, who wrote many of the original fairy tales, were from Germany! So, if you have any of the breeds listed above, the names from Into the Woods would be extremely fitting for them. However, if you do not have a German breed, that's completely okay. Many of the names that we've included in this list incorporate meanings from other cultures. Find one that you like, and match it with your dog; whether that is with personality (matching things like music feel or character type), color (dark coats would be perfect for the woods or the evil from the witch), or size (there are both giants and fairies in these stories). There are many ways to make the names work perfectly for your pup. We are confident that you are bound to fall in love with one of the beautiful names that capture the mystery of fairy tales, the forest, and all that lies within.
