We had a crazy secretary who named her dog Rob Roy McGregor because he was a good Scottish dog, and the defender of his home like Rob Roy was the defender of his country. What is your dog, I asked: Collie? Scottie? Cairn Terrier? Sheltie? Skye Terrier? Golden Retriever?
No, she answered to each. He's a German Shepherd.

Reminds me of one of my mother's childhood stories. During WWII, my mother was a little girl living in India, which was still a British colony at the time. One of her family's friends had a dog (I don't know what breed) named... Rommel. The dog responded only to Rommel - calling him Rom or Rommie did no good.
One day, the dog went missing, and my mother was recruited to help find him. So there she was, wandering around a town in British India, yelling "Rommel! Rommel!" and getting some very strange looks indeed... (But she did find him.)

Your source, the DYFS is a garbage agency with tons of problems. The DYFS is the same agency that oversaw the placement of four teenage brothers. When a neighbor found one of the kids going through his trash looking for food he called the cops. The four brothers had a combined weight of 120 lbs and the 19 year old weighed 45 lbs. There is a pic in the link. The 19 year old is at the bottom right with rotted out teeth.
