Pupper. Pupper is just like doggo, but it is used to describe a puppy. Some people also use it to describe full-grown dogs that they find extra adorable.
It's no surprise that 'walkies' scooped the top spot, with a dog's heart rate increasing by a whopping 36% every time they hear the phrase. Other words that make our four-legged friends the happiest include 'treat', 'get it', 'fetch' and 'get your toy'.
Smol is an affectionate way of saying that a pupper is tiny and cute – so small and adorable that you just want to pick them up squeeze and squeeze 'em.
If your dog has a calm demeanor and tends to be always at peace, you can either choose a name that directly means “calm” or one that means “serene” or “peaceful.” Great examples of such names are “Milo” and “Tully” for male dogs or “Irene” and “Olive” for female dogs.
