Stan Lee’s Mighty 7 Inspired Dog Names

Stan is a dog with a blog. Yes, this Disney Channel sitcom is all about a dog that is a blogger. Stan can talk, type, and make jokes with the best of them and although his owners adopt him to stop their kids from fighting, it turns out their new furever friend is talented enough to have his own pawpular blog. The kids find out one night when they see Stan typing away on the computer in the middle of the night and decide to keep it a secret from everyone else. In fact, he does bring the family closer together with his antics and fun adventures. 

The cunning canine who played Stan in the first five episodes of “Dog with a Blog” was born on December 15, 2001, and died on November 21, 2018. He was a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix named Kuma who also played in the films “An American Crime” in 2007, “Cop Dog” in 2008, and “Wrong” in 2012 and was Jesse on the television series, “McBride” from 2005 to 2008. Kuma was owned and trained by Sarah Clifford, who rescued the pooch from a South Los Angeles Animal Shelter when he was a puppy.

Kuma was replaced by Mick, another Husky mix who was actually all white and, like Kuma, was dyed brown in places to match the original Stan. He was born on April 23, 2010, and was only two years old when he went to work on the show. He has also played on “Superstore,” “Lady Dynamite,” “Chance,” “Bark in the Park,” all kinds of commercials, and many Disney promos. According to Mick’s owner, Steve Solomon of “Good Dog Animals,” and those who have worked with Mick, he loves roughhousing, toys, and sometimes has to skip a day of filming because he is too tired or distracted by something. 

On the show, Stan is a pooch the family adopts who has had three past owners who all attempted to tell the public about him being able to talk. He is a funny, sarcastic trouble-maker who loves his new family but likes to get into things. When the kids find out his secret, they vow to keep it to themselves, but a few people end up finding out and so the characters spend a lot of time trying to cover it up. In the third season, Stan marries his girlfriend, Princess, who is a brown and white Poodle and they end up having puppies in a future episode.
