South Park Dog Names

Introduction

Like the iconic cartoon The Simpsons, the often controversial South Park has been televised for nearly two decades. A creation of childhood friends Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the cartoons outlandish characters and plots are signature parts of the cartoon series. Often, it seems that the animated series is more offensive than not. However, often, the characters have an important point regarding each show's plot. After September 11, 2001, the show targeted Saddam Hussein, reducing him to a cowardly character with a high-pitched voice. The show also parodies many celebrities and politicians. Regardless of its tongue-in-cheek content, the show continues to draw audiences as there is a little truth to every parody.

Carl

Farmer Carl Denkins is a minor character on the South Park series, but he has played numerous times on a variety of episodes. Carl appears on the pilot of the show, and he makes multiple appearances throughout the first and second seasons. Farmer Carl represents the local people of small town Colorado, and, as are many characters on South Park, he is a caricature of what these small town people are.

One very interesting dog named Carl is featured on Facebook. Carl is an English Bulldog, and his biography says that his (Carl's) life is dedicated to helping others. Carl was owned by Drew Hunter, and one glance at the "A Dog Named Carl" page, and it is evident that Drew loved Carl very much (yes, unfortunately, at the time of this writing, Carl is deceased). Carl loved balls - playing with a football especially. Drew often took Carl on his numerous outings, and he referred to Carl as "Cycle Dog" (Drew was a dirt bike enthusiast). Carl also loved cows, car rides, and dressing up for the camera. Carl had a small following, but he will always be remembered with his social media footprint.

Another infamous Carl is captured in a children's book called Good Dog, Carl. Carl is a Rottweiler who teams up with the young girl Madeline. Carl is actually Madeline's caretaker much of the time, and he takes the job of watching her seriously (Rottweilers make wonderful watch dogs; they are not called the nanny dog for no good reason). The Good Dog, Carl series has at least fourteen volumes, and books have been published regularly since 1985. Incidentally, the Good Dog, Carl books are used to work with Alzheimer's patients and to teach English as a second language.

While the Rottweiler of Good Dog, Carl is fictional, one other Rottie has an internet tribute written by a distraught pet parent. His owner wrote a blog post dedicated to the memory of her Carl. Unfortunately, this sweet Rottie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Carl and his "mama," as she calls herself, only got to spend a few years together. She tells of how difficult Carl could be, how he was hard to housebreak, and how annoying he was at first. However, his idiosyncracies only made his owner love him more. Her tribute to Carl is heartbreaking yet inspiring at the same time; it is also a reminder to have our pets checked out by the vet regularly.

South Park Dog Name Considerations

When it comes to naming one's dog something that is inspired by the controversial South Park cartoon, to be certain, one generally chooses a South Park-inspired name simply because the potential pup owner is a fan of the show. There is no one breed that deserves a South Park dog name over another! However, there are some dogs that have made appearances on the show over the years.

At the height of her popularity, Paris Hilton (or at least her caricature) made an appearance on South Park with her customary Chihuahua, Tinkerbell. Other neighborhood dogs have been featured on South Park. Clyde has a dog named Rex, and the town mutt is nicknamed Sylvester. Often they are of no particular breed, and they are often nameless (much like the other animals featured on the cartoon). However, one particular pup comes to mind when thinking of dogs featured on the South Park cartoon. Stan Marsh's dog, Sparky, is a unique dog, and he represents those who do not feel accepted by those around him. Sparky is, according to Stan, part Doberman and part wolf, and he is reputed to be the toughest dog in South Park. Consider one of these names for your new addition!
