So in a couple of weeks this guy will be coming home, he's a wire-haired pointing griffon and we are having a hard time finding a good name. Contenders so far are Fred and Bruno. So in time honored mefi tradition help me find the perfect name!
Gryffindor....

He is Theodore.
(Yes, I am reading The Bully Pulpit right now. What a great namesake -- energetic, athletic, loving to his family, progressive, fun.)
