Houdi

The dog is named, Houdi. The winner is Jessica, a sixth grader who lives across the street. It turns out that Jessica has a two year old female terrier, Abby that was adopted from the same shelter as Houdi a year earlier.

The two dogs have become playmates in the small park behind my home. Jessica chose the name upon hearing of the Houdini like escape ability of my canine.

Who might be more qualified to name a dog than an eleven year old child?
