Featured Famous Dog With a Name That Starts With 'Bu'

Bullet

Dogs have long been part of our lives, with some breeds often being traced back several centuries in our heritage. Dogs depicted in ancient carvings (in forms of both statues as well as wall carvings), pictures (drawn, photographed, etched and painted) in many different scenarios, whether family, protection or work-oriented, as well as written into many types of literature, both prose as well as poetry, over the centuries, continues today. Both of our pop culture spotlights today share a couple of common threads - they're both film stars, appearing with period famous actors as well as being the real-life furry family members of those actors.

Bullet and Butkus are the precious pets of the families of actor Roy Rogers (films released in the 1950's) and the more recent Sylvester Stallone of "Rocky" fame. Both dogs were frequent and vital personages with their human masters in both public, film and private life.

Bullet and the Roy Rogers Show (1951 to 1957) was a favorite film and TV event for the period. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans family pet, Bullet, was a German Shepherd Dog who did all of the things any worthwhile and loving dog should do: alerting Roy and Dale of danger, or gnawing the ropes that frequently bond them and helped catch the bad guys. He could run like the wind, easily keeping up with Roy's horse Trigger, as the duo raced along the dusty trails in pursuit of danger. Like any good family dog, Bullet also loved his regular traveling with Roy's funny sidekick and cook, Pat Brady, in his Jeep, named Nellybelle, as well as getting his favorite handout from Dale in the Eureka Cafe.

Butkus is the 140-pound Bull Mastiff owned by Sylvester "Sly" Stallone, coming into Sly's family in 1969 as a 6-week-old puppy. So fierce looking was he, especially after eating his blanket, Sylvester named him after Dick Butkus, who was to Sly the "fiercest football player in history." When Sly began his acting career, Butkus wasn't even remotely part of his plan. Becoming apparent that using an officially trained canine actor was not in his budget, Sly looked closely at best bud Butkus. Butkus level of intelligence and ability to think on his feet shined through, increasing Butkus value as an actor. For those"Rocky" fans, we don't have to tell you about the close relationship seen in the film, or need to explain that was a natural one.

Dog Name that Starts with 'Bu' Considerations

Naming their new pet is often the most avoided new duty among the many which accompany pet ownership. It tends to evoke fear in the hearts of the strongest when they consider the number of name possibilities which exist. And, while we acknowledge that there are hundreds of thousands of potential prenomens available for tagging your dog, your pet deserves a label that is unique, instead of "Baby," "Butch," or "Barker." We also would like to point out that this duty is like any other that you view as insurmountable, is doable when you approach it with a plan. What are some methods of naming your pet that you might entertain? Are they perky and energetic? Bungee may be a good choice, as is Bullet. Do they have a red coat? Tag them with the title Burgundy for fun. Do you see the theme here? We're suggesting names that start with 'Bu.'
