Tower of Terror Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog With a Tower of Terror Name

Star

The Tower of Terror was a set inside a hotel that was the go-to place of Hollywood stars. Wouldn't a name like Star be perfect for a Tower of Terror pup? Once you read about this dog named Star, you will think so even more!

Star's heart-wrenching story began when she was rushed to the local pet hospital. Star was having seizures and was experiencing advanced kidney failure. While doctors helped Star get back on her feet and running around like her normal self, they did say that she would likely need a kidney replacement.

Sure enough, a few months later, Star was feeling sick again. The pup was throwing up, unable to eat and clearly needed immediate attention. Star's family reached out to a family who had adopted one of Star's puppies years earlier. The puppy, named Elsa, was a perfect match to be a kidney donor. Elsa's family agreed that the puppy had to help save her mom and gave the A-okay for the procedure to happen.

36 hours after surgery, both Star and Elsa were given a clean bill of health - Star's blood work was normal and Elsa was feeling just fine. Elsa had saved her mom! Both dogs went home to continue their recovery and begin their new healthy lives.

Need a little more inspiration for a Tower of Terror name? Well, a famous dog named Thunder may help. Thunder is one impressive dog and the internet has agreed, making a video of Thunder go viral. How? Well, this dog doesn't need a water bowl - he has learned to turn on the sink faucet all by himself!

Thunder can jump up to the sink, turn the handle and lap the running water whenever he is thirsty. He even turns it on for his brothers and sisters! What a nice dog! No need to remember to fill the water bowl when Thunder is around.

There is also the dog named Stormy who made headlines across the nation. Stormy escaped from his yard one morning and wandered toward the road where he saw a bunch of people running. Stormy started running with them. Turns out, the pup had just entered into a half marathon!

Stormy continued to run the entire race, speeding ahead of the race leaders several times, stopping to play with a few cows in the field and finally crossing the finish line. Seems pretty impressive for not even training to run like all the other humans in the race had!

Tower of Terror Dog Name Considerations

There are a few things to take into consideration when choosing a Tower of Terror name for your dog. The first is if you want a name that is completely inspired by the ride itself or if you want to branch out a little and pick a name that is reminiscent of the movie. The ride is, of course, the original storyline and you may want to stick to just the original ideas that Walt Disney and the Imagineers came up with. However, the movie lends a lot of good dog names as well. Think about which route you want to go down as you look over these first-rate dog names.

Another thing to consider when choosing your dog's Tower of Terror tag is the nicknames that will go along with it. When you say your pup's name over and over again every day, you may want a shortened version. A good nickname is important!

There are lots of Tower of Terror names that are a little spooky since this is the nature of the ride. Consider if you want a creepier, darker name for your dog or if you would rather stick to the names that are more friendly. So much to think about when choosing a Tower of Terror name!
