You may think that odd but on my first visit to Spain (over 30 years ago), my children, my mother and I went to hire some bikes from a local shop to have a cycle around the area were were staying. The shop owner came out and called out to a small dog 'Ay, perro ....' and the dog came running over. I stroked the dog and said he had a nice name and what did it mean. The chap looked puzzled and said 'Dog'. I said 'you call your dog, dog'? He said 'is a dog, what else would I call it'. I said we called our dog 'Teela' and he was puzzled why we would give dogs a name!
