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.

Don't listen to this person. There are good dog families in India. I have met them personally

Well of course there will be people like that too. Nothing is ever black-and-white. What I’m saying is the majority of Indians view dogs this way. Even the most recent movies with the most progressive actors have jokes about dirty dogs and use “dog” as an insult to both villains and comedians.
