Introduction
Budapest Dog Names in Pop Culture
Nowadays, one of the most iconic dogs in the world is a Puli. Mark Zuckerburg, the founder of the billion-dollar social media giant Facebook purchased a Puli puppy with his wife Priscilla Chan in 2011. They dubbed the moplike dog, "Beast." Beast was born in Grants Pass, Oregon and living with the breeder when he was purchased by Zuckerburg. The puppy quickly went to live with his new owners in Palo Alto, California.
Of course, being the creator of Facebook meant that Beast garnered his own social media page where the pooch has amassed over two million subscribers who log in regularly to see photos and blurbs about the white pooch. On the dog's profile page, his interests are listed as “Herding Things, Cuddling, Loving and Eating”. Beast has become so popular that Facebook even released a sticker pack with the canine's likeness for users. In addition, the dog regularly accompanies his famous owners into Facebook headquarters.
Beast has become a celebrity in his own right. Movie stars, actors, and other famous individuals have all been pictured with the white dog, including Cesar Milan and Cory Booker.
When Mark and Priscilla tied the knot, Beast played an important part in the wedding. Friends and family believed they were attending a celebration because Priscilla had recently graduated from medical school, but when they saw Priscilla walking down the aisle with Beast, they knew that the couple had thrown a surprise wedding.
In an article for Today, Mark's wife, Priscilla Chen, stated, “So we have Beast, our Hungarian sheepdog and he is so talented. He’s so smart. He knows his daily schedule. He has an extracurricular activity. He goes herding. He herds sheep. And we’ve been told that he’s quite gifted.” In the same interview, Mark said, “He’s, like, this ridiculously cute dog. He looks like a little sheep. He’s amazing.” Undeniably, the billionaire Puli is well-loved by his owners. Chan stated, “The dog is [Mark’s] second priority after Facebook.” The Zuckerburgs now have two children who Beast also adores and spends time with.
Budapest Dog Name Considerations
Tourists are always pleasantly surprised to see dogs dining alongside their owners, especially in the ancient city's many outdoor patio cafes. Most dog owners are also amiable and will gladly share canine stories with anyone interested in what life with a dog in Budapest is really like.
If you are completely enamored with Budapest then why not pick a name for your beloved canine that reflects your interests? You could even name the pooch after the city itself, "Budapest," or after the country "Hungary." Other name options include picking a name of a street, location, historical figure or event in the city to tag your furry buddy. Whatever fascinates you about Budapest is the perfect moniker for your pooch.
Why not call your dog Istvan after the King of Hungary? He resided within Budapest's Grand Palace. Today, many residents of the city are named after the iconic king. Kossuth was one of the founders of the town, and many locations are named after the gentleman. With a bit of digging, you will find the perfect name to honor not only the city of Budapest but also your canine companion.
