Top Five Rappers With Dog Names

Rappers have gone "canine" naming themselves (Photo by istolethetv/Flickr)

Rappers have tough task when they’re starting out. They have to find the best “rapper name!” It can be a make or break thing — so many have gone “canine.”

Before counting down the “Top Five Rappers With Dog Names,” let me tell you who didn’t make the list.

Tim Dog, Phunk Dawg, Milkbone and McGruff. I appreciate the effort. But this list is reserved for performers that the masses have, um, heard of. The only McGruff I know is the Crimedog.

MC Breed fell short, mainly because I wasn’t sure if “breed” was being used as a noun or a verb.

Finally, there’s Randy Jackson. And while he’s not a rapper, and his name is “Randy” not “Rover,” his frequent use of the word “dawg” on American Idol is worthy of an honorable mention.

Elise Papazian (Dogspired):
» When you’re telling stories about family members to others, you automatically say your pets’ name. You figure: “by now, anyone important knows ’em by name and IF not, those people aren’t important!”

Betty Diana Arce (Dogspired Facebook Page):
» You don’t take vacations because you don’t want to leave the dogs behind.
» There are dog beds throughout the house that are not used because the dogs prefer the lap.

Janet Zepel (Facebook):
» You know you’re a dog lover if you know the names of all of the dogs in your neighborhood, but none of your human neighbors’ names.

I love these! Thanks for sharing.

Here’s the list again from the Sniff Seattle Dog Walkers website: Top Ten List: Signs You’re A Dog Lover:

There are dog lovers. And then, there are dog lovers! Here’s a list we put together: “Top Ten Signs You’re A Dog Lover.

#10 – Most days you have a “glistening” on your face from dried doggy kisses.

#9 – You haven’t seen your own doctor in years. But the vet? Last week!

#8 – You make a point to sit scrunched in the corner of the couch so your dog can be comfortable.

#7 – You reach into your pocket hoping to find a breath mint. But, no. It’s a doggy treat.

#6 – No matter how hot or extremely cold it is, you roll down the car window so your furry friend can hang his head out.

#5 – Your best conversations are with your dog.

#4 – There are about 32 squeaky toys laying around your house. (Vawooo! Oops, just stepped on one!)

#3 – You sleep crowded on the corner of the bed, and would probably go to the floor if you had to so your dog could get a good nights sleep.

#2 – You’re covered with almost as much dog hair as your dog! And you don’t think twice about it.

#1 – You’re still wearing sweatpants from your college days. Your dog? Cute new sweater!
