Stink bomb incoming!
How did you choose the name?
I didn't. I got him from a friend who is too busy to look after him properly. He is only a year old, and is a beagle/bassett hound cross. Both of those breeds require constant attention and he was ripping her house apart when she was away too long.
Since he is a year old, I decided to keep his name. He is named after Bombur from the Hobbit.
Do they ask for your pets name if you take them on a plane?
