“When we spoke with the pet owners from our Top Ten lists, we found that many had similar strategies for naming new furry family members,” said Curtis Steinhoff, director of corporate communications for VPI. “Nearly every one attributed their creativity to an unusual behavior or characteristic that makes their pet unique. As you can imagine, there are some interesting stories and distinct personalities behind names like Sir Seamus Mcpoop and Ozzy Pawsbourne.”
