....my friend has a dog named Sarah...
I thought this was funny because I thought Sarah was his girlfriend when he said
"I need to get home because Sarah will be waiting for me."
and I was like "OH ok, ok, yea go home" thinking it was his girlfriend....
a week later he texts me a pic of his dog saying "Isnt Sarah cute"
and that's when I knew................................................

Like for my new puppy my family picked a name out for a hat and the discussed it (until my name won) but funny enough later on we realized she had a big Maple leaf in the middle of her chest so the name was fitting.
Voted: Nothing—I just pick a name I like

I decided personality because a dogs personality could be playful so the perfect name would be Jinx, if its sassy it could be Piper. But this is also my random opinion. I don't have a dog even though I would LOVE one so yah. :)
Voted: Their personality
