The First 48 Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

You might be wondering, "How does The First 48 - a documentary about solving murders - relate to dogs?" You might not consider the fact that dogs are an integral part of the police force in cities across the world. German Shepherds moved from the countryside to the city to work as both military dogs and as assistants to policemen. Bloodhounds have been used as a part of investigations to find missing persons or to find a dead body. The Rottweiler was also utilized for some service work with police and military. There is an infinite list of people that work with the police; some may be featured on "The First 48" and will serve as inspirational name choices.

Dave

The First 48 television show is a reality series that airs on the A& E Network. Dave Walker is a Police Sergeant working in the Tulsa Police Department. Sgt. Walker has appeared in forty-three episodes of this reality show. As a sergeant, he is directly involved in the investigation of crimes in this Oklahoma city. Because this is a reality series, there is no script and no plot as you might find in a sitcom or a fictional film. No two days are alike in this line of work! In the same way, no two cases are the same. Sgt. Walker provides great insight into the procedures by which crimes are investigated, and his dedication to bringing justice to victims and their families is clearly evident.

Dave is also a common name for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Dave is a Scottish name that means "beloved friend," which is a fitting name for a canine pal. Because the name Dave is so common in the canine world, there are more than a few popular pups sharing this moniker. The first Dave the Dog featured in this spotlight is a Spitz who works as an actor. Dave had a role in the film Coming Up in 2003. Although his career is not expansive, Dave's sweet expression and ability to really ham it up on screen isn't easily forgotten.

The next Dave the Dog featured in this article is a very lucky pup! Dave's start in life isn't exactly known. The mixed breed dog was first spotted by soldiers in the Royal Marines stationed in Afghanistan. He was being mistreated by some local children (who really didn't understand their actions), who were pulling his tail and generally teasing him. The soldiers swapped some mini flares with the children for the privilege of taking Dave home. He spent the bulk of his time in the barracks with the Marines. When the battalion's service time was over, they arranged with a local rescue to take Dave. It was highly important that Dave be removed from the area where the Marines had been stationed; it was the most dangerous area in the nation. Although Dave had to live in the rescue for a short time, the rescue worked to reunite Dave with the Marine who found him, and transported him in London. As of this writing, Dave is happy and healthy with his owner.

The First 48 Inspired Dog Name Considerations

The premise of the reality show "The First 48" deals with solving murders. Statistics tell us that the clock begins ticking for crime investigators moments after the event takes place. If a murder is not solved within a forty-eight hour window period of time, the murder is, unfortunately, unlikely to ever be solved. For those who are intrigued by solving mysteries, it is easily understood that factors such as eyewitnesses and evidence left behind at the scene can make a difference in catching the perpetrator. Sadly, many crimes are not solved for months or years, and still, others are never solved at all.

Previously, the mention of dog breeds who work alongside policemen showed how canines are invaluable to their human companions. While the German Shepherd and the Bloodhound are often most associated with police work, the Doberman Pinscher, Belgian Malinois, and even the Akita have been utilized for this special line of labor. Other dogs known for their work with the police are the Airedale Terrier, the Belgian Shepherd, the Belgian Tervuren, the Boxer, the Dutch Shepherd, and the Weimaraner. Labrador Retrievers, among other breeds, are often utilized for drug detection. There are some dogs devoted to finding cadavers; the Collie is an expert at this type of work.
