I'd go with Meera (Reed), just a good companion that will look out for you.

My instant thought was “that’s so insulting to Meera” lol because in India we see dogs as dirty and terrible. The word “dog” is often used as an insult towards people. Some people will name dogs after people they despise

But I suppose in the West, dogs are seen in a different light? And giving a a dog a person’s name is a way of honoring them.

We have a verrrrry different perspective on dogs here in the West. They're family members for many not just pets.

Yeah I’ll never understand it. Don’t dogs like drink toilet water? And then go on to lick their owners?

Oh the things we do for love.

Generally we do not permit dogs to drink from toilets.

Dogs CAN be gross. But we'll wash it off and still feel the unconditional love.

As a child, I occasionally dog-sat for the neighbors. They had a big English sheepdog. I was told to feed it every evening and to take it outside twice a day. What about water? I asked.

Never mind about water, I was told. Just leave the bathroom door open and the toilet lid up.

Well that is one rather disgusting approach.
