[NAGDU] Dog Names

[Tracy Carcione]

Interesting stories!

One of my GDB dogs was named Amba.  She was donated, and her breeders got to
pick her name.  Their name was Anderson, so the name had to start with A.
They chose the name Amba, which is a Hindu name for the Great Mother
Goddess.  It suited her absolutely.  She was a queen, and a mother-type,
strong and loving.  I've always felt she came to me from the Goddess to help
me when I needed her most.

My boy's name is Irish and I've always thought that was an interesting name
for him since he was born, raised and trained at Guide Dogs Victoria i
Australia. At the school, they thought thtat was such a great name, too. As
a fundraiser kind of thing, people buy opportunities to name litters of
puppies and are put in a drawing.  Somebody got Irish's litter, and he was a
single puppy, had no siblings. For some reason, he was kind of a special dog
to a lot of his trainer and the kennel staff and he got many hugs when we
were ready to return to Hawaii.

While on the subject I'd be curious to know the stories behind your dogs'
names.
I'll start with mine, Doc - male black lab from Southeastern, named in honor
of a doctor in Florida who served for several years & loved black labs.  His
puppy raisers were also his donors so not only did they get to raise him,
but name him too!
My first guide who passed almost three years ago named Cole, he was a yellow
lab I believe he was named either for or in honor of a child who passed, I'm
not sure.

Please forgive the typos as this message was most likely generated using
voice dictation Nancy Irwin
