Your dog's called what?

I was downstairs having a coffee and reading the increasingly-feeble SMH and I couldn't help notice that both of the other outside tables were occupied by people who had brought their little dogs along. One of the dogs was called Brooklyn and its owners were - of course - New Zealanders.

My neighborhood's overrun with these little dogs. An acquaintance of mine was at a dinner party near here recently and was introduced to a couple who described themselves to her as dildoes, which took her back a little until they explained that it stood for "Dual Income Little-Dog owners".
