Pets have been attacked by wildlife, harassed and killed wildlife, bitten or disturbed other visitors, and fought with other pets. Unfortunately, pets and wild areas can sometimes result in a dangerous mix. Whatever you choose, there are no limits to what characteristics you choose, how you match them up, or how creative you get with your references, so reach deep, try everything from the Triassic to Jurassic (Park, that is) and sink your teeth into our juicy, meaty roster of great Dinosaur Inspired names if you need some inspiration.Many people consider their pets members of the family and travel with them on vacation. For a dog that loves to soar through the air, such as off the couch or into water, then Petrie, Pterri, Madonna, or Elsa would all be great choices. If they have a habit of regular destruction, then Godzilla, Reptar, Bowser or Indominus would certainly be appropriate. To find a good fit, we recommend starting by taking note of your dog’s most unique and quirky characteristics and matching them up with a name or character that is similar in some fashion.įor instance, if your dog happens to make cute little grunting noises or has a coat pattern that makes them look like they have a saddle, boots, and a white underbelly, then Yoshi would be a great fit.

Since dinosaurs have wholly-distinct names that are not only difficult to pronounce but are just as difficult to remember, we’ve erred on the side of caution and decided to fill our list with names and nicknames of those who have achieved at least some sort of pop culture status, whether it’s a mainstream film series or an obscure comic book character, as they will suit our purpose that much better.

He acted from 1994-1999 until he got too old, then retired to enjoy his golden years.Īt least two of three other dogs who played Rex were also trained by Theresa Ann Miller, a Hollywood pro who took them under her wing throughout the show’s original run, subsequent tapings and releases in several other countries, nearly all of which were universally adored by fans. While he was originally trained in English, Rex also understood commands in German, the native language to where the show originated in Austria. The original Rex was played by a dog named BJ, who was selected at just 20 months old to begin training, which lasted 5 months in itself before he was able to act on-screen. Rex had to be played by several different dogs over the course of the show, as it lasted 18 seasons in total, spanning far beyond the average life expectancy of the average canine, let alone a German Shepherd. On top of solving crimes, Rex still plays the role of comic relief, often being purposely mischievous, especially with his crime-fighting partners when not on duty, making him that much more real and endearing. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Rex is also not only an extremely smart dog in the show, but also an undeniably lovable character. Even in the first episode, which has Rex and his partner looking for a place to live, he proves the anti-dog landlord wrong by sniffing out a gas leak in the building.


Many establishing shots catch him demonstrating one of his new abilities which range from carrying objects, physically stopping or restraining criminals, sniffing for clues, opening doors, pointing, tracking, and various other activities that prove to be inherent to each episode’s plot or action. Rex, revealed to be registered as Reginald von Ravenhorst in the pilot episode, is not only featured in 58 of the show’s original run, but plays a pivotal role in just about every one of them.

Several others have walked the line, but even Full House’s Comet, the Little Rascals’ Petey, and Frasier’s Eddie have all been afterthoughts or devices for comic relief or fodder for one-off plot lines and the rest of the candidates have all been animated.Īlthough it may not be super familiar to American audiences, Inspector Rex (originally known as Kommissar Rex in its native Austria) did exactly that, taking a German Shepherd and making it the true star of its own show. Outside of Lassie, very few television shows have ever featured a live action dog almost exclusively as the main character.
