Muppets Most Wanted Inspired Dog Names

There are plenty of dogs that are featured in pop culture. This includes both fictional canine characters in various works as well as real-life dogs who have made an impact in pop culture. For dogs whose names are inspired by Muppets Most Wanted, one of the first ones to come to mind is the Italian Greyhound known as Kermit. Named after arguably the most renowned Muppet character, Kermit the Frog, Kermit is an Italian Greyhound owned by famous YouTube personality, Jenna Marbles. He has two other doggy siblings - another Italian Greyhound named Peach, and a Chihuahua, named Marbles.

Kermit rose to fame because he is frequently featured in Jenna Marbles’ YouTube videos. In fact, he is the star of a series of instructional videos on how to “care for your cermet”. According to Marbles, Kermit’s full name is “Kermit Washington Lincoln”. He has a broken tail and had his kneecap removed. He also has Cushing’s disease and a weird fetish for soap. In videos featuring Kermit, he is portrayed to have a weird accent, assumingly from a “swamp”. Thanks to his antics and Jenna Marbles huge fan base, Kermit has become a big Youtube personality himself.

Dogs are also frequently featured in The Muppets franchise. A well-known canine character is Rowlf the Dog. This character was first made in 1962 with the purpose of using him for a Purina Dog Chow commercial. He is described as an unkempt brown dog that is part-Corgi with has long floppy ears and a rounded black nose. In the Muppet Theatre, Rowlf serves as the resident pianist and is one of the ongoing main members of the Muppets cast. He is characterized as being a calm joker with a deadpan humor and is said to be a fan of classical music. Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppets franchise, was also the first one to perform Rowlf. Moreover, even though Kermit the Frog is known as the ultimate Muppet “icon”, it was actually Rowlf who became the first recurring character in the show.

Another prominent canine Muppet character is Foo-Foo. She is the dog owned by Ms. Piggy and first appeared in the fourth season of The Muppet Show. She has also been featured in some of the Muppet films, including Muppets Most Wanted. However, unlike Rowlf the Dog, Foo-Foo does not talk; she only barks and makes all the other types of noises that a dog generally makes.
