Introduction
Entourage Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Vinny as a dog's name is a rather popular one. An online search of dogs named Vinny returns many interesting pups. One dog that might be well-known among young and old alike is a fictional dog that is featured on the cartoon Family Guy. Vinny is the dog that the Griffins purchase after the death of their long-time pet, Brian. Of course, with any cartoon, the creativity of the creators of the show is present in that Vinny is "1/16th cat." Like Brian, Vinny can also talk to the family. This helps Peter to accept Vinny as the new dog. Stewie seems to have the most difficulty accepting a new dog. However, Stewie finds out that Vinny lost his original family about the same time that the Griffins lost Brian. Stewie finally decides that fate worked out the Griffins' purchase of Vinny, and Stewie begins to make peace with the new dog.
Another Vinny the Dog was once known as Fat Vincent the Dachshund. Fat Vincent was a foster dog. When he came to his foster family, they nicknamed the chubby pup Fat Vincent. However, his foster parents put him on a diet and Fat Vincent became Skinny Vinny. Fat Vincent originally weighed in at thirty-eight pounds. By the time Skinny Vinny left his foster home to be adopted, Vinny had lost nineteen pounds.
Both of these Vinnys were adopted into happy, loving homes.
Entourage Inspired Dog Name Considerations
There is a reason that Chase brings home a Rottie. He is told that the dog will be a "vicious attack dog." Because he is away so often and for long periods of time, Chase thinks this is the best way to guard his Hollywood home when he has to be out of town (half-brother Johnny, who lives with Vinny, cares for Arnold and watches the property while his brother is away). Little do the guys know that Rottie Arnold will actually become one of their best friends. The writers of the show purposely chose a Rottweiler to show the good points of the breed, who, in the 1990s, was often vilified as a potentially aggressive dog.
When considering an Entourage name, Arnold, Johnny, Vinny or Chase would be suitable choices as would Mandy, Lizzie or Carla. With no shortage of choices, our list is sure to provide the perfect name!
