The love of our pets is a universal condition. It translates into many languages around the world and is an international phenomenon. This is why when looking for inspiration for a name for your dog, foreign languages are a great place to start.
This is especially true if you love international travel or want to honor a culture. There’s more than one way to say I love you. Sometimes it involves a whole other language, like barking.
Amor
We love our dogs, which is why the name Amor is perfect. It means love in Spanish. Every time you say your pups' moniker, you will affirm your affection for them. Even when telling them not to eat your favorite shoes.
Senshi
For your fierce pup, consider the name Senshi. It means warrior in Japanese. Dogs with this name are sure to protect their family from outside threats, like the mailman or the neighborhood feral cats.
