Sinbad

There are many dogs throughout history that have been classified as heroes. Our spotlight dog today, Sinbad, is one of those heroes. The mixed-breed pup was one of the two animals that were qualified enough to be commissioned as officers by the United States military. This is a huge honor, and one that was rightfully earned by Sinbad, as it takes a great deal of hard work and determination for a dog to be provided with this title. In fact, Sinbad was so important in his role on the Campbell ( a ship in the United States Coast Guard) that he earned the title of K9C, also known as "Chief Dog" which is equivalent to a Chief Petty Officer. During his 11 years upon the Campbell, Sinbad was awarded service ribbons such as the American Defense Service Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and Navy Occupation Service Medal, all of which were displayed proudly on his collar.

While the beginning of Sinbad's story is not one full of thrills, it is a befitting story for a sea dog. He was obtained in 1937 as a puppy by A.A. "Blackie" Rother of the United States Coast Guard. Sinbad was meant to be a gift for Rother's girlfriend, however, she was unable to take the puppy due to restrictions in her apartment. It was because of this that Sinbad ended up on the Campbell. At first, no crewman was willing to take in Sinbad, leaving him a stray with no owner amongst people on the ship. However, over time, he began to work his way into the sailor's hearts and most everyone wanted him to stay on board. Acting just like a sailor, Sinbad loved to drink coffee and whiskey, enjoyed hanging out in duty stations, and demonstrated what the sailors called "Seamanship". In order to actually become part of the crew, Sinbad had to sign enlistment papers like everyone else, and even used his pawprint to sign them!

Despite the fact that Sinbad may not have seen as much action as his namesake did in the film, there is no doubt that surviving World War II and being involved in some serious skirmishes as an essential crew member makes Sinbad a worthy spotlight dog. He retired in 1948 at the age of 11 with an honorable discharge and spent the last 3 years of his life happily onshore in New Jersey where he could still see the sea.

Sinbad Inspired Dog Name Considerations

When considering what dogs fit best in the category of Sinbad, the sky is the limit! Perhaps you have a pup who loves the water or one who isn't afraid of anything; those are a few excellent characteristics that will match perfectly with a Sinbad name. For instance, in the movie, Sinbad has a lovable mutt by the name of Spike. This dog is loyal, slobbery, adorable, and brave! Although his breed isn't totally clear, the name "Spike" could work on any breed of dog as it is a tough sounding pirate name. On the other hand, "Marina" is the name of Proteus' fiancé, and it is a gorgeous ocean themed moniker that would be perfect for a female dog who loves to swim or sail. As far as coloring and markings go, dogs that have sandy colored fur (or even blue tinted fur or markings) will be excellent candidates for a name in this category. Because Sinbad spends so much time on the ocean and dreaming about going to Fiji to retire, it isn't hard to see why these colors would fit the bill. In fact, a name like "Fiji" could be perfect for a little sandy colored Chihuahua. Whatever moniker you decide to choose for your pup, there is no doubt that a Sinbad name will be one full of adventure and meaning.
