Cowpoke Dog Names

John Wayne is one of the most famous cowboys in history. He is still well known as “The Duke”. Duke is a great dog name for any breed of dog due to its singular syllable and a dog’s attention span. A recent and popular movie The Secret Life of Pets brought a lovable mutt named Duke into our homes and our hearts. He is an abrasive ball of brown fluff who shakes up Max's life and he is a clumsy oaf as well. While his role in the movie is necessary to drive the plot, it is his backstory that makes him less of an annoyance, and more sympathetic.

Duke's owner Fred could not find him after Duke went chasing a butterfly. When he could not find his way home, animal control got called and he went to the pound. He never saw Fred again. While this is a sad story, it gets sadder. After a near miss with animal control, present day, Duke finally finds Fred's house. The cat that lives there told him that Fred passed away. This sparks more animosity between him and Max, but when Duke again gets captured Max hatches a plan to save him. At the end of the day, they return home together.

In 2014, another famous Duke made political history by running and winning the office of Mayor in Cormorant, Minnesota. He won by a landslide and the Great Pyrenees has won every year since. He is expected to run as the incumbent candidate again in 2018. This may be a ceremonial position, but he takes it very seriously. He is already working in front of traffic laws. In a very humble move, Duke only asked for five hours of grooming and a year's supply of dog food as a salary. Washington, take note.

Ranger the Danger Dog, a Jack Russell Terrier is one of The Dogs of Instagram. This guy has all kinds of thoughts and activities. He does not like meetings on Friday, he likes rainy day snuggles, and he can often be found stalking tennis balls. Ladies beware because he has swagger and a new collar. He has mastered the guilt trip and is vehemently opposed to Tongue out Thursday. He slipped one week, but it was an oversight. Never let it be said that Ranger the Danger Dog is afraid to go a couple of hours without toys on principle.
