"how was the puppy's name chosen?" you ask.

well, puppy's mom and dad reviewed all the submitted names. they chose a list of names that they thought would be good fits for the puppy. then, they asked the puppy to join them in the selection process. she was presented with the names her mom and dad chose, the three names that she responded to with the most interest were deemed the three finalists. the puppy and the three names were then taken to an outdoor testing facility where the final selection process took place. the puppy was placed in an actual real life play situation. the name choices were then loudly announced one at a time. the name that attracted the puppy from her play was chosen as the winner! there... wasn't that scientific?
