Boston Police seek name for new dog

By adamg on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 8:52pm

Boston Police have issued a BOLO for a name for the newest member of their K-9 unit - a 9-week old Belgian Shepherd male, who will be taking on "patrol and explosive ordinance detection duties."

According to head BPD K-9 trainer Troy Caisey, names should be strong, commanding and no more than 2 syllables. For example: names like Tuco, Bronson and Solo would be more than suitable. So, if you have a suggestion, send it our way and if we use your name - we’ll send you a BPD patch in return.

And BPD is right next door.

Excellent!

That is a GREAT name. I just voted for your suggestion via an email to [email protected], giving you and UniversalHub full credit, and urge everyone to do the same.
I hope you win!

Strong, Commanding

Elmer? Two syllables, easy to prnounce, manly....

Look at that punum!

By Brian Riccio on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 9:17pm.

Why do I see more ability to run this city honestly in this beautiful animal's gaze than in any photo of Marty Walsh? And the dog looks twice as intelligent.

Seriously?

By MatthewC on Wed, 08/12/2015 - 8:59am.

This post is about as fluff as it gets, and you can't help but smear your ragey political bullshit all over it.

At the very least

By Brian Riccio on Wed, 08/12/2015 - 9:54am.

we know who the dog's master is. Can you say that about Marty Walsh?

Sobaka!

By Dog on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 9:27pm.

Sobaka!

Uh

By MostlyHarmless on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 10:14pm.

Counting isn't your strong suit, is it? Or were you just identifying the object in question?

In that case

By Anon on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 10:47pm.

Sobak?

"Sobak" is genitive plural

By necturus on Wed, 08/12/2015 - 6:19am.

How about "Pyos"?

Much Better!

By SalSal on Wed, 08/12/2015 - 12:32pm.

"Pyos" means male dog and "sobaka" in some contexts means "bitch".

How about "Uxby"

Two ideas

By ElizaLeila on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 11:07pm.

I just emailed them two ideas:

Lando - because of course that face will grow up to be a suave man-dog. :)

and (the old Punks out there might like this)

Knuckles - after the Killdozer song of the same which has the parenthetical Who Helps People. And I said in my email may this pup not meet the song Knuckles's same end.

In reference to Steve Allen...

Remington or Remy.

For a police dog?

By SwirlyGrrl on Wed, 08/12/2015 - 3:05pm.

I know you are referencing the gun, but "Remy" doesn't exactly have positive connotations when it comes to crime.
