Featured Famous Dog with a Name that Starts with 'Va'

Valerie

Since names beginning with "Va" are quite popular, it is not hard to find a few famous "Va" dogs in Pop Culture. "Va" names are everywhere! One dog with a "Va" name that stands out is little puppy Valerie. If you haven't heard of her yet, one look at her picture and you will never forget her and here's why!

Born at the end of 2013, the little Jack-Russell Chihuahua named Valerie was an instant celebrity. Why? Well, she was born with a perfect brown heart on her otherwise pure white fur. How did the heart get there? Pure luck! She was just born that way.

A breeder posted a photo of Valerie online, showing off the adorable little dog and her amazing heart-shaped patch. In the photo, tiny Valerie is sleeping the breeder's palms, her heart showing right on her fur. While the breeder said she would love to keep Valerie as she adored her unique pattern, she was unable to due to already having numerous dogs on her property. Valerie would be available for adoption and surely hundreds of people jumped at the chance to have this one of a kind dog.

Another great story of a "Va" named dog is the story of the runaway dog Vada. Let's start at the beginning, before she flew the coop! Vada was adopted as a puppy by a California family who did not really want a dog. The mother was a self-proclaimed 'cat person' and with young kids in the family, a dog was not really something they were looking for. Then they saw Vada and everything changed.

Vada's brown eyes and deep, intense looks made the parents adopt her right away, a very sudden decision! When she got home, Vada was immediately smothered in attention by the kids and she instantly became a part of the family.

Vada would go on hikes with the family and loved being outside but she was very wary of strangers and other animals, acting shy and scared if someone new was around. Then, one day, Vada got out of the house and got lost. The family came home to find her missing and immediately went searching. Days later, still no Vada. Then the family received a call from animal control.

Vada had been hiding under their neighbor's deck for days, scared and alone! The neighbor had tried to get to her and even tried to spray her with a garden hose but she wouldn't move! Animal control was contacted and they recovered the pup and eventually returned her to her owners. Luckily, Vada was once again happy and right where she belonged!
