Ice Skating Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog With an Ice Skating Inspired Name

A.X.L.

While not spelled exactly like the figure skating axel, our featured famous dog is A.X.L. a robotic dog that stars in the 2018 movie AXL. In this science fiction adventure film, the robotic dog has cutting-edge military technology to help protect soldiers in the military. A.X.L. stands for Attack, Exploration, and Logistics. After an experiment goes awry, this robotic pup is found alone and damaged in the desert by a man named Miles Hill. Miles activates the robot's owner-pairing technology, which allows him to bond with the robot dog. As A.X.L. protects his new owner, he also teaches him confidence. The scientists who created A.X.L. eventually find him and want him back, but A.X.L. will do anything to stay with his new companion, and Miles and his friend Sara are along to help. While the dog in the movie isn't played by an actor, it is voice by Tred Tatasciore.

Our second figure skating named pooch is Shadow from Homeward Bound. In this story, Shadow and his pals Chance and Sassy get separated from their family when the family moves to San Fransisco after a wedding joining the mother of the owners to a new husband. The family leaves the dogs and cat at a ranch belonging to a family friend. As Shadow, an old Golden Retriever, and Sassy, a Himalayan cat, start to miss their family, Chance, an American Bulldog, decides it is time to go on a little adventure. When the new owner leaves and a neighbor misunderstands where the animals are, they fear they have been abandoned, which sends the pack roaming and looking for their owners. At the end of the movie, you see Chance and Sassy make their way to the home of their owners, but it looks like Shadow is nowhere near. He had injured his leg and had fallen behind, but he limps into view and is also reunited with his family.
