Meaning & Story

From the English word 'legs,' referring to the limbs used for walking and running; used as a humorous or affectionate pet name often given to long-legged dogs.

Legs is the name for a dog who is 80% leg and 20% enthusiasm — those improbable stilts that seem to have been designed by someone who lost track of the proportions. It's a name born from observation and love, the kind that emerges when you look at your greyhound, Great Dane, or gangly rescue mutt and realize that his most defining feature simply cannot go unnamed. Legs is a dog who covers distance with startling efficiency and trips over absolutely nothing.
