I cannot in any way better the first answer, but I did know most of them.

[cube]

I knew most of those answers mainly because I'm a regular reader of your blog. You educate us all in matters canine.

[schnoodlepooh]

the only answer that i managed to get right was the one about PETA.

Let's see....I got number one right...that was the easiest.
I couldn't for the life of me remember the beagle's name but knew it was Johnson that got blasted by the drive by media over the "ear-gate" scandle!LOL!!!
Numbers nine and ten just make me sick!!!!
I thought Clinton had a lap dog named "Monica"???LOL!!!!!

The humane society needs to change that. I'm a "foster" for dogs. The group I work with is LA PAW (www.lapaw.org) and I don't know how many dogs we've saved but if an all-volunteer group can do it then you'd think a well respected animal right group could do it too! I hope everyone that reads this and is considering an animal choses to adopt, rather than buy, their new family member!

I knew 2 answers......#'s 3 and 8. Sad.....guess i am uninformed in the dog world. PETA/pathetic. The Humane society should change its name. The Shame Society

[Saint Lover]

I couldn't remember the answers to most of those questions :embarrassed:

[Hudson]

Loved the quiz...Hudson

[Jackiesue]

i knew most of them..and the last 2 just make my ass hurt..i hate peta..and will never donate money to the hs again..bastids.

[Biggie-Z]

Great quiz! So is that where "Fido" as a dog name came from?

[Marion]

I only remembered one...the Chocolate Lab. And that's only because I saw him on TV the other day. My memory is not the greatest these days.

[Neva]

I got some of them right...not #1 as I could not remember if it was a dog or a monkey...figured dog but what do I know???
Good quiz.....I am appalled ....still....at PETA...they should changet their name to shame......

[Sling]

I only knew a couple for sure,and guessed the HR one correctly..
Biggie-Z- 'Fido' is Latin for faithful,I believe.

[Christopher]

Great quiz. I knew most of them, although Lincoln's dog was news to me. Sling is right, Fido comes from Fides which means "trust, confidence, reliance, belief, faith."

[matt]

I can't stand trivia about as much as I can't stand PETA.
