Man’s best friend deserves a good home – and a good name.
It’s hard to top the cuteness level of naming stray pups Rickey Howler, Tiger Woofs and Doggie Pepper.
It just so happened that when a Good Samaritan rescued an emaciated dog and a pile of 10 puppies alone in the Missouri woods, it coincided with the September day of the fundraising golf tournament for the Stray Rescue of St. Louis. So, they decided why not name the dog and puppies after famous golfers.
In addition to coining plays on the names of Rickie Fowler, Tiger Woods and Dottie Pepper, they named the puppies Graeme McHowell, Betsy Jawls, Inbee Bark, Louise Puggs, Arnold Pawmer and Woofy Austin. The rescue also named the mom Mary, Queen of Scots, in recognition of her being the first recorded female golfer.
“The mom was so thin,” Cassady Caldwell, the CEO of the Stray Rescue of St. Louis, told People magazine. “She has literally given everything she has to keep her babies alive. Other than being covered head to toe in fleas, they were in good shape.”
Thankfully, this story has a happy ending as the Stray Rescue of St. Louis found a foster parent for Mary and all 10 of her puppies shortly after the group reached the facility.
Here’s wishing the best to Doggie Pepper, Inbee Bark and Woofy Austin.
