Introduction

Some canines favor a kicked back lifestyle. They might be older or lack the energy to cause mayhem. Certain breeds are even bred for their calm disposition.

Josef

Josef is a canine character in the wildly popular anime series Heidi, Girl of the Alps. The Japanese series was created in 1974 by Zuiyo Eizo (now called Nippon Animation). The cartoon was based on the classic Swiss novel written in 1880 by Johanna Spyri called Heidi's Years of Wandering and Learning.

In the anime series, Josef is a huge, lumbering Saint Bernard who is owned by Heidi's grandmother. The big dog loves to lay around the hut and do as little as possible. The only time Josef ever truly gets excited or shows a great deal of energy is when he sees tasty snails which he will rapidly consume with sheer gusto. The rest of the time the dog sleeps. However, if an emergency should occur that involves Heidi or his beloved people, then the lazy dog will quickly find a burst of energy to come to the rescue. It is these many qualities of Josef that win the audience's hearts and make the large dog a memorable character.

Throughout the years, many toys and other collectibles have been created that revolve around Heidi, Girl of the Alps. Fans can purchase toys and stuffed animals that depict Josef. There are even furry slippers that are fashioned in the dog's likeness.

The success of Heidi, Girl of the Alps, is undeniable. The show has been broadcast around the world in a multitude of languages. There are English, Spanish, German, Indian, and Afrikannese versions of the show. It continues to be enjoyed by young and old alike. A full-length movie has also been created around the anime. The film was released in the United States and the United Kingdom. Of course, the movie would not be complete without featuring the lazy character of the canine Josef that audiences and fans adore. Even today, the series remains very popular in Japan. The Japanese postal service has also issued collectible and tradition stamps that showcase the characters of the cartoon. Interesting, the show has spurred millions of fans around the world to visit the Swiss Alps so that they can see the 'home' of Heidi and Josef.

Unlike many cartoons that only appeal to children, Heidi, Girl of the Alps has a strong fan base that encompasses many age groups. Everyone seems to love the show which is why it remains trendy even forty years after its debut. Out of all the characters, fans will typically list Josef as one of their favorites.

Dog Name Meaning Lazy Considerations

Not all dogs are filled with energy. Maybe you own a senior dog who enjoys spending the day lounging on the couch. Perhaps your furry friend is a bit overweight and likes to take it easy. If your dog has a lazy outlook on life, then you can consider a variety of names that showcase their attitude. You could pick a name that means lazy or choose to bestow a handle from a famous character on your pooch.

If your dog is the Al Bundy of canines, then you might want to name them after the iconic television character. You could also go with Doug from the character from King of Queens. You could even choose a name like Newman from Seinfeld. If your dog's main activity during the day is laying on the sofa then why not call them Couch or Lazy Boy? Fritter is also a fun name if your furry buddy spends their time frittering away the day. Homer is another fun name after the lazy cartoon character Homer Simpson.

No matter what lazy name you choose for your dog it will be bestowed on your furry friend in love because you probably adore your buddy's laidback nature.
