Psych Dog Names

Introduction

Psych is a popular TV show that features two friends, Gus and Shawn, who work together with the police department to solve crimes. While this sounds like your everyday crime show, Shawn takes the plot to a whole new level by using his incredible deduction skills to trick everyone (including the people he works with) into thinking he is Psychic. Of course, this is not true, and both Gus and Shawn's father know it. However, they play along to make for a wild ride full of laughs and interesting mysteries to be solved. If you watch the show, be sure to keep your eyes out for the pineapple that is hidden in every episode!

Gus

When watching the TV show Psych it is easy to fall in love with the characters due to their quirky and hilarious personalities. Gus, Shawn's best friend, is a perfect example as he is loyal, but occasionally gets frustrated with all of Shawn's antics. He is a great balance to the ever jumping into trouble Shawn! To represent this awesome character's name, we are looking at a gorgeous white Siberian Husky who played a heart warming character in the movie Iron Will (1994). This movie is about a man named Will Stoneman who decides to travel to Canada after his father encountered a fatal accident while dog sledding. Will now has to support his family's farm, and to do so he takes his father's sled dogs with Gus (the white Husky) at the helm, and enters into the sled dog race that his father would have participated in.

The story follows Will's struggle through racing and how much of a toll the weather played on his body, almost making it impossible to complete the race. However, the most important and one of the most heart-warming moments of the film is how much Gus struggles right alongside him. Gus was Will's father's lead dog, meaning that they had a close and unbreakable bond. Throughout the race, some of the competitors against Will tried to injure Gus in order to end Will's chances of winning, but that didn't stop the resilient team and their leader. Clear to the very end, Gus held onto his inner fire and pulled the team, even when Will was shutting down.

Right before they reached the finish line, however, Will collapses from exhaustion. Gus stays by his side, unsure of what to do until suddenly, he hears a familiar whistle on the other side of the finish line. Ned Dodd, a friend of Will's father, whistles for Gus in the same way that his old master used to. It was this simple familiarity that caused Gus to struggle forward the last few feet to pull Will and his team across the line; winning the race and saving their farm. It is this strong remembrance of his master that makes this moment so special and truly brings to light how amazing the bond is between dog and owner. Gus was a loyal and hard working dog, giving his all clear to the last second. That's why he makes a great example of the Gus from Psych who stuck by his best friend no matter how perilous the situation.

Psych Dog Name Considerations

When picturing dogs who will rock a Psych name, breeds that match Shawn and Gus' personalities come to mind; such as a Basset Hound for Gus and a Jack Russel Terrier for Shawn. Due to the extensive cast list and the many episodes that Psych ran, no matter what kind of dog you have, there will most likely be a name from this show that will fit! If you would like to match your dog's fur color to something specific, we would suggest the name "Pineapple". There is a pineapple hidden in almost every episode of Psych and if you love searching for it (or simply love pineapples in general) then this name would be perfect to consider; especially for any breed of dog that has a yellow color for their fur and a super sweet or tangy personality. If you like the name "psyche", then perhaps a dog with a black or dark grey coat, with underlying patterns, would be a great fit; to achieve a mysterious and intriguing effect. Thankfully, even though the name of this TV show causes it to seem rather unusual, many of the names that are used for the characters are common names with a few exciting ones tossed in (such as Yin and Yang) so it shouldn't be too hard to find one that is perfect for your pup.
