Tess

If you are a big fan of Ocean's Twelve or even just Ocean's Eleven (hey, you have to start somewhere!), you are likely very familiar with the character Tess. Tess Ocean is the film's leading lady and the main character Danny Ocean's wife. Tess is also a fantastic dog name and the moniker of a dog who has been in many papers thanks to her heartwarming story.

Tess lives in Indiana with her owner, Joseph Steenbeke. However, Tess hasn't always had a life of leisure. In fact, Tess worked as a bomb-sniffing dog in Afghanistan for years. Tess and Steenbeke actually met in Afghanistan when he was serving in the army. Tess was assigned to Steenbeke and the two were inseparable during his time overseas.

Then, Steenbeke's tour ended and he was sent back to the United States, leaving Tess behind. He was only given a few minutes to say goodbye to the dog whom he had worked beside for over a year. Steenbeke knew that he had to get Tess back by his side somehow. He even had her Army ID number tattooed on his arm.

When Tess finally was able to leave Afghanistan, she went on to serve for the Connecticut National Guard - her working life wasn't over yet! Finally, Tess reached retirement age and Steenbeke began the fight to adopt her. With lots of paperwork and the recommendations of friends, family and nonprofit groups, he was finally approved to take Tess home.

Steenbeke and his wife drove to Connecticut to pick up Tess and the reunion was sweet. While Steenbeke said Tess's muzzle was a little more white than the last time he saw her six years prior, she was still full of energy and very excited to see him. Now, Tess is living a luxurious life in retirement with the Army veteran who never forgot about her.

Rusty is another dog who made headlines (and the name of one of the Ocean's Twelve main characters). Rusty was brought to a rescue league with a gunshot wound to the head. While he had been severely injured, the rescue league got to work and immediately began helping the pup. After four surgeries, Rusty had fully recovered and was healing wonderfully. While the pup remained on antibiotics, he was ready for adoption and was expected to have no permanent damage - a true miracle!

Ocean's Twelve Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Naming a dog can be one of the most challenging things that you ever do for your pup. You want the name to be perfect and that can be a high bar to reach! Luckily, you have already chosen a great theme for your dog's name and with a fantastic movie like Ocean's Twelve, you have plenty of names to choose from. However, there are still other things to consider.

Think about the name you are considering and how that character in the film relates to your dog. Does your dog share certain characteristics of someone in the film or do they remind you of a certain scene? If so, you may have found your dog's name! You could use the name of the actor or the name of the character, whichever you like best!

Think about how the name you like sounds when you say it out loud. Does it have a nice ring to it when you yell it out the back door? This is very important to think about as you will be saying your dog's name a few thousand times in their lifetime!

If you have a favorite character in the film, picking your dog's name may be as simple as naming them after that character. Sometimes, you don't need to overthink it!
