Rampage Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
George may be a giant gorilla in the movie “Rampage,” but George the Saint Bernard is a mischievous pooch who wreaks havoc all over town in the 1972 movie by the same name. It stars Marshall Thompson, who plays Jim Paulsen and Trudy Young, who plays Aunt Helga. The movie was so popular that it became a television series in Canada from 1972 to 1973. Zsa Zsa Gabor even had a guest appearance in the series.
The plot of the movie and the series is about the big lovable pooch named George who goes to live with a man in Switzerland who is a pilot. The new dog owner, played by Marshall Thompson, is a happily single bachelor who gets the 250-pound bundle of fluff from his sister after she gets married for the fourth time.
However, Jim and George do not hit it off right away, and Jim is at his wit’s end when George causes trouble with the neighbors as well as the authorities with his playfulness. In fact, George causes so much trouble that Jim gives him to a monastery because he cannot deal with him. But George escapes the first night and gets lost in the snowy mountains. In the end, Jim realizes that he loves George and goes to find him.
Another famous dog named George is the Great Dane who played Marmaduke in the 2010 movie by the same name. The large poochie weighs over 160 pounds and is voiced by superstar Owen Wilson. Just like the other George, this one gets in all kinds of trouble as well as Marmaduke. He has pet parents who work for Petco, and they are very strict with their pooch. Or try to be.
Marmaduke meets a Collie named Jezebel that he develops a crush on and she asks him to save her from her mean boyfriend, Bosco the Beauceron and his two Miniature Pinscher buddies, Thunder and Lightning. Although Marmaduke loves Jezebel, he does not want to fight Bosco and chooses to outsmart him instead.
With help from his feline friend, Carlos, he tricks Bosco and makes himself look good in order to impress Jezebel. Marmaduke gets some advice from his friend, Mazie (who has a secret crush on him), about getting a girl who she assumes is herself. But she later discovers that Marmaduke was referring to Jezebel when she sees them out on a date that she suggested.
In a strange turn of events, Marmaduke gets lost and Mazie and Marmaduke’s owners find him but Mazie falls into a rainwater conduit. Marmaduke jumps in to save her, but he gets into trouble himself and when the firefighters rescue Mazie, they cannot get to Marmaduke. Luckily, one of his owners save him and, in the end, Marmaduke realizes that he loves Mazie instead of Jezebel, who was just using him to make Bosco jealous.
Rampage Inspired Dog Name Considerations
When you choose a new furry family member, you should make sure to consider certain things like whether you have kids or other fur buddies and whether you have a yard for the poochie to play in. Some breeds need a lot of outdoor exercise and having a large fenced yard is important for them. For example, Retrievers, herding dogs, Dalmatians, Siberian Huskies, and German Shepherds all need plenty of outdoor space to exercise every day. And once you decide on a forever friend, you will need to think of the perfect name for them.
Deciding what you want to call your new buddy can be difficult, but it can also be fun. Watch your pupster play and see if you can spot a cute habit or quirk that they have. This can give you ideas for a fun and suitable moniker. For example, Bubbles would be cute for a playful pup, Monsieur is great for the sophisticated dog, and King is awesome for the dog who likes to be in charge. You can also choose a name based on your poochie’s appearance such as Snowflake for a white pup or Pipsqueak for a petite pooch. Pop culture is a great place to find some fun names for your new pooch too, and there are some terrific names in the character list of “Rampage.”
