What were the wackiest dog names of 2013?

How savvy is your pet about social media?
Sixteen percent of pup owners in the US say they maintain a social media presence for their dogs. I know two cats that have their own Facebook page, in fact. And, San Francisco, being the exception in a good way, cites that 29% of owners say their dogs tweet and post on social media.
If you’ve ever wished your dog could talk, now she or he can- sort of!
Thanks to the My Dog Talks! app, you can upload a photo of your pup, add a mouth and voice, and say something, and then watch your pup repeat what you’ve said. The app costs 99 cents on iTunes. Just saying…
