Ljuti Meyerist @plaptopus.bsky.social · 02/09/2023He is named Ringo specifically because he was and still is the loudest dog ever. And so vocal too! Nice to see people named their dogs with the same reasons haha 062
Achronal Art @achronalart.bsky.social · 02/09/2023I love how they are clearly made in molds, with applied detail in the cuneiform names and the fur on their necks, and it looks like the tails are straight up handrolled and added on afterwards! 171

Corgi @sffcorgi.bsky.social · 02/09/2023And look how wonderfully they're rendered! Any chance we could find their names in the original, phonetically rendered? 110
Hipster Sasquatch, trapped on the planet of the nepo babies @hipstersasquatch.bsky.social · 02/09/2023FTR, these were most likely not named after a *specific* dog, being protective charms buried at the entrances of people's homes. These are likely their version of The Dog Names -- Rover, Spot, Fido, etc. 2223
