Famous Dog Names From Movies

Some of my favorite names for dogs come from movies. Some of the best movies of all time have key roles played by mans best friend. Here are my 7 favorite dogs from movies and their unique names.

 

1. Dog from the movie Big Jake:

John Wayne one of the greatest actors of all time started in hundreds of movies. One of my favorite is Big Jake, where John Wayne grandson is kidnapped and ransomed for money. John Wayne accompanied by his sons and trusty dog named Dog, hunt down and kill the kidnappers. Dog plays a key role saving multiple peoples lives.

2. Hercules aka “The Beast” from Sandlot:

The worlds second most famous dog next to Lassie, is Hercules. Not only did this dog reign terror in the hearts of the friends from Sandlot but he also fit his name perfectly being huge and powerful. I love this name for either large dogs are ironically for small dogs.

 

3. Marley from Marley and Me:

 

Marley stole Americas heart with his mischievous ways ruining his owners home and almost their marriage. In the end this pup brings their family closer together than they could have ever just like our dogs do for us.

4 and 5. Chance and Shadow from Homeward Bound
