Stinker Belle ...Enough said.
Vienna Sausage ...A Dachshund. Has to be.

Trigonometry ...Someone loved math class. Clearly.
Sir Maui Senqkey Schwykle ...Fancy pants.

According to Curtis Steinhoff, director of corporate communications for VPI, these weird dog names have more behind them than a laugh factor. The owners of the pets with the award-winning names had some touching, one-of-a-kind stories behind the names. “While monikers like Stinker Belle and Vincent Van Furrball might sound odd, they are also a reflection of what makes each pet unique and special to their family," Steinhoff says.
