My dog is called Little Steamed Bun. Her partner is Little Glutinous Rice Ball, and their son is Crayfish — nope, not Soup Dumpling!
What funny names do your furry companions have?
Yushu Dangfeng:
One silly female coworker has a Teddy dog named Dandan. That’s fine on its own.
But her human son is also named Dandan. She got the dog the same year her son was born, so the puppy became Dandan too.
Why did she name her son Dandan? Because Dandan was her own childhood nickname. Both she and her son were born in the Year of the Rooster. On a whim, she thought, “This little guy is mine, and we share the same zodiac sign — he can be Dandan too.”
So when her husband calls out “Dandan” at home… the dog Dandan runs over, the baby Dandan crawls over, and the wife Dandan walks over. Total chaos!

I bet both pets are utterly confused.
Since people liked this story, I’ll share another one.
The pet shop where I take my cat for baths has a cat called Big Brother — and the shop owner actually has an older brother in real life. He must feel awkward every time he calls the cat.
