Introduction
Kung Fu Panda is a franchise set in a fictional world where the world is populated by animals. These animals have the same characteristics of their species but are human-like in their thinking. The story centers around Po, a panda who did not seem like much to those around him. He is fat, likes to eat and would rather sleep than go for an early morning run. But Po had a dream to join the Furious Five, a group of Kung Fu masters. Not only does Po defy expectations, but he made us laugh in the process.
Kung Fu Panda Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Master Viper is a snake who is an integral part of the Furious Five. She is the sweetest and kindest of them all, defying the stereotype that casts snakes as villains. When she was born, her parents were dismayed to discover that their beautiful daughter didn't have visible fangs, a serious birth defect among vipers. Her father withdrew in shame and nobody expected anything from her. But the resourceful snake trained day and night to become a master in Kung Fu. She brought honor to her father, not by having impressive fangs but by her iron will and incredible love.
She was the first master in the group to welcome Po to the ranks, and never teased him despite his obvious lack of skill. Instead, she was kind to him. The snake is a testament to beauty and grace, and she is the kindest soul you will ever meet. But that does not make her weak or docile. She is one of the deadliest masters in all of China and will never stop fighting for what is right. She is every bit the lady but won't hesitate to destroy evil enemies. Her father, the Great Master Viper, protected his village with his impressive fangs. And although his daughter was born without fangs, she still brought him great honor.
There is another Viper who protects his village even though he does not have fangs. The suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa are not known for being the safest place on earth. Security companies have to be vigilant and protect citizens from the hotbed of crime that leaks out from the infamous city. Viper and his handler, Lawrence Magowa, have the most dangerous shift. They have to patrol from 3 pm to 3 am. Not only is this a long shift but it is also known for being the busiest time.
Viper was trained in the mountainous province of Mpumalanga as a rhino-poacher tracking dog to hunt down the poachers that threaten the rhinos in the country's various parks. The beautiful Belgian Malinois soon proved his worth as a sprinter instead of a long-distance runner and it was decided that he would be better suited to protecting private homes. That was when he met Magowa and the two hit it off immediately. These two have made a number of successful arrests and just like Master Viper, security dog Viper will always bring honor to his loving master.
Kung Fu Panda Inspired Dog Name Considerations
When the franchise began, we were introduced to Po, a lazy panda with a nearly impossible dream. He wanted to join the Furious Five, a group of Kung Fu masters who were trained by the incomparable Master Shifu. His chance to shine comes when it is announced that they are looking for the chosen one who will fulfill a prophecy. Everyone is welcome to come to the selection ceremony, but everyone expects one of the Furious Five to be chosen. On that day, everyone gathers around for the ceremony, but Po nearly misses his chance because he overslept.
One by one, the Kung Fu masters step forward, all expectant. But none of the famed masters are chosen, much to their dismay. Everyone was just about to give up when Po falls in, out of breath and late. He is about to be kicked out when it is revealed that he is the chosen one. At first, it may have seemed impossible. But Po was eager to prove himself and he did. By the end of the movie, he had saved the whole of China from an evil threat. The names in this guide were chosen from many characters throughout the franchise. If your pup displays traits from Kung Fu Panda, choose a tag that catches your eye. Is your dog laid back and a bit on the lazy side? Are they your chosen one?
