Meaning & Story
Crusher is an English word meaning one who crushes or overwhelms, suggesting great strength and power. As a pet name it is often given with cheerful irony — to a small, fluffy creature who is devastating in adorability rather than force.
Crusher is the name for either the biggest dog you've ever seen or the smallest, because both extremes earn the title. The giant Mastiff who leans on you and leaves you temporarily unable to breathe: Crusher. The tiny Pomeranian who has somehow destroyed every single toy in three days: also Crusher. Both are correct. Both are wonderful.
