George

St. George’s castle, better known as the Castelo de Sao Jorge, is a popular tourist attraction in Lisbon. This stunning piece of history is considered one of the best sites to visit in Lisbon. George is also the title character in the book “Free Days With George: Learning Life’s Little Lessons from One Very Big Dog”. A true story, the book is written by Colin Campbell who went abroad for a short business trip and came home to find that his wife of many years had moved out. Colin was blindsided and given no explanations; she was just gone and would not be returning. This led to Colin falling into a spiral of depression and loneliness. Not long after, Colin learned about a dog that needed a home. A Newfoundland Landseer, a breed known for being friendly and excellent at swimming, the dog in need was also 140 pounds. Colin adopted the dog and named him George. George had experienced a lot of trauma and both Colin and George had broken hearts and were struggling with trust. As they began their life together, they learned how to socialize, share space and get past their bad experiences.

When Colin was offered a great new job in Los Angeles, he and George made the move and started a new life together in a Hermosa Beach neighborhood. There, George became an attraction, offering attention and affection to those he met. Colin decided to rekindle his love of surfing and George was on-board; literally. When he experienced the ocean and the surfboard for the first time, George jumped on the board, ready to go. The pair’s adventures together were life-altering and healing for both man and dog.

Another George known in the media is the canine pal of Ryan Gosling. The mixed-breed passed away at the age of 17, but his memory continues, with his well-known owner wearing his dog tag as a necklace and a t-shirt with his picture on it. Gosling shared memories of his special friend during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, commenting that the main thing about George was that he was not a “real” dog. According to Gosling, George seemed to feel being a dog was beneath him. He would not do tricks and if you wanted him to do something it would require you to convince him it was the best thing for him. George would sit in seats like he was a human and was a fixture on just about every film that Gosling worked on. According to Gosling, “he’s more interesting than I am”.

Lisbon Dog Name Considerations

Trying to decide on a name for your new dog can lead to your wanting to growl in frustration. Since you will be calling whatever name that you choose many times a day for years to come, it makes sense that you are being particular. If you are struggling, it can be helpful to first decide what it is that you are looking for the most in a name (one with meaning to you, that is a perfect fit for your pup, or something unique). Once you have an idea of what is most important, you can then continue your search.

When it comes to continuing your search, one way to go about doing so, particularly if you are looking for a name that has some meaning to you, is to take a closer look at a place you care about. Take the city of Lisbon, for example. Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon is the westernmost capital of a mainland European country, and has a lot to offer. Embark on a virtual tour of the city and take note of any name possibilities you come across. You can then choose the one that best fits your pooch.

With a name from Lisbon, you will receive regular reminders of the city, each time you call for your pooch.
