Dog Names Ending in 'per' in Pop Culture
Our second pop culture dog with a name that ends in "per" is Scupper from Margaret Wise Brown's children's book, The Sailor Dog. Scupper is a dog who has a dream. He grew up on a farm but, having been born on a boat, he dreams of returning to the sea! That's quite a dream for a little dog, to be sure, but when he grows up, he does get back to the sea. He gets his own little boat, puts everything he owns in it, organizes his stuff and sets sail, using a sail that has been patched and sewn together, reflecting a vessel that hardly appears seaworthy. He gets shipwrecked and must live for a time on a deserted island while he repairs his damaged boat. Eventually, he does get back to sailing and visits some pretty exotic places and experiences some interesting things as he pursues his dream. This tale teaches children that they can have a dream, pursue it during their lifetimes and see it to fruition.
