Featured Famous Rome Dog

Caesar

Caesar was a Wire Fox Terrier who gained fame because of his companionship with his owner King Edward Vlll. With a name like Caesar, he was never going to be a nobody; his proud Roman name made sure of that. He was bred in the Duchess of Newcastle's kennels, and was gifted as Caesar in 1902 to replace the King's dog Jack, who had died after an incident with food wherey he choked. Such was the love of the King for this little dog, that he assigned a footman to keep him clean and he was allowed to sleep on the chair next to the King's bed. The little dog even had a collar that read ' I am Caesar - I belong to the King'. The King was always received with great excitement from the dog, and the King showed great tolerance of his mischievous ways by telling him off verbally and shaking his walking stick at him usually in fun. Caesar was often in trouble escaping to chase some white peafowl and another time he killed some rabbits owned by Lord Redesdale's daughters. This feisty little dog often attacked the trouser legs of visitors to the King and would work at the fabric, growling and being just a dog. But despite all Caesar's bad habits and lack of respect for officials, the King adored him.

When the King passed away in 1910, this little dog attended the funeral and had a place of honor in the procession, and a place of prominence ahead of nine kings and other heads of state, much to some officials disgust. After the King's death, Caesar refused to eat, and would spend time outside the King's bedroom door, whining. He even sneaked into the King's bedroom and was found by Queen Alexandra where he was hiding under the bed. The Queen took over and encouraged him to eat, and within time, he was restored to his usual self. A book was written after the funeral of the King and it was called Where's Master? The very successful book was reprinted several times. Caesar went on to live out his life in the Royal household after the death of his master, cared for by the Queen. He died in 1914 and there are many paintings and sculptures of this little companion to the King. A bold, vibrant little dog, his likeness has been captured in many artists depictions and his legacy remains intact as the little dog who won the heart of a King.

Rome Dog Name Considerations

There are one or two things to consider before settling on a name for your dog. If you are choosing a name from another country, just ensure you know the meaning of the name. People live and move around the globe now more than they have ever done in the past. Your neighbours may have origins from many other places, so do not assume that a name that sounds great but is offensive in its meaning won't be picked up here in your homeland. Many people are bilingual as well, so choose your name wisely, as you don't want to embarrass yourself when out with your dog. Some names sound cool but can have racist overtones, so always check the meaning of the word in an unknown language. Rome, for example, has a long and rich history, and names from this city alone can be inspiring. Often the names blend with mythology and surrounding areas, which gives a rich blend of names to enable a choice. Just ensure that its easy to say and rolls off your tongue in a fluid manner, not a stutter, and is not too long so that your dog can easily understand it. After all, they don't talk our language, even though it appears that they do understand us at times.
