I’m more worried about the recent trend of U.S. Presidents named after the winged horse that carried Muhammad to heaven....

An additional 12 are named Adolf, including four German shepherds and three rottweilers. (We're hoping against hope that at least some of those are misspelled tributes to debonair actor Adolphe Menjou, but maybe we're just kidding ourselves.)Or this guy:

Remember “The Jerk”?
“Navin Johnson.....decides to hitchhike to St. Louis, .... On the way, he stops at a motel, where a dog wakes him up by barking at his door. Navin thinks the dog is trying to tell him there’s a fire and decides to name the dog “Lifesaver.” He wakes up the other hotel guests to rescue them, but when everyone realizes it was a false alarm, one man angrily suggests he call the dog “Sh*thead” ...which he does.

And how many are named Che or Castro? Of course, the LA Times wouldn’t even think of those as being murderous.

What better way to "honor" THAT Adolf than to name a cur after him. And teach him to sit, lay down, and play dead.

When I was much younger, my parents named our first Shepherd, Rommel. We got him after the '68 riots, some of which spilled into our town. After that, a certain ... ahem ... demographic used to cross the street when they passed our home.
My 1st Shepherd also had a German reference, Luger. He was a lot friendlier.
