Introduction
Dog Names that Start with Li in Pop Culture
The second of our two famous pop culture dogs with a name beginning with "Li" is Little Nipper, the famous RCA mascot. Nipper was born in Bristol, England in 1884. The name of this Bull Terrier and Fox Terrier mix is the result of his habit of nipping at the backs of the legs of people as he followed them, as many pups do. When the owner of Nipper died in 1887, he was taken to Liverpool where he lived with the deceased owner's brother, Francis, who was a painter. While living with Francis, Nipper discovered the cylinder phonograph and would sit for long periods looking at it, cocking his head to one side, apparently attempting to determine from where the sound was emanating. Francis watched in fascination as Nipper, cocking his head to one side, listening to the sounds coming from the horn of the phonograph, but, it was not until three years after Nipper's death in 1895, that Francis painted, from his memory, the classic picture seen for several decades of Nipper sitting next to the phonograph, head cocked to one side, appearing to be listening. Eventually, Nipper was pictured next to a gramophone and the image, labelled as "His Master's Voice", became trademark of RCA Records.
