Famous Dog Names:  (E - O)

including dogs in films, TV, books, comics and politics

The following list is of notable dogs of film, TV, books, comics, and politics.  Being notable, of course, is subjective.  So there may be lesser known dogs who some might think should be included here.  One criterion for inclusion here is the availability of an image of the dog.  (Also see Baby Dog Names.)
