If you meet a little white terrier with a cute black marking over one eye ....

[Random789]

... please do not say "Is he called Patch? ha-ha-ha-ha".

If you do, you are still likely to get a lame ha-ha-ha-ha in reply, as things currently stand. But after more than two years of getting this comment at least once a week I am nearing the point where I put away the ha-ha-ha-ha and bring out the "No he fucking isn't".

Thinking of getting a badge made ("No he is not called Patch) to save me the bother of replying.

My little dog was universally mistaken for a girl. I grew tired of correcting people and just went along with it - might be easier for you to pretend he is called 'Patch'.

I’m gonna need a pic of this cutie! 🐶

Better than "Bullseye!" in a faux-Cockney threatening growl

Is the picture tax on the way?

So what is he called? Need a photo to see if it suits him. 🙂

Sorry. Have been out at a local agricultural show today. Couple of people said "Oooh! Patch!" when they saw him. But they addressed the remark to their mates rather than directly to me so it was fine.

He looks a bit sad there. He's not really sad. Especially today as he nabbed a whole sausage roll that someone had dropped on the ground.

He looks lovely. A sausage roll is a fab treat.

I thought he'd be called Pirate.

I did think of Pirate, but DH didn't like it. I kind-of liked Bullseye, but again a no from DH.
He is named after a certain CGI dog voiced by John Travolta. Not sure it suits him fully, but the film is sweet (with an endearingly deluded and anxious dog) so there you go.

He is gorgeous just lovely OP - I have a black terrier - the love of my life

Bandit?!

Love love love him OP.

He's gorgeous. Is he called Patch?

Hello from another “No, he’s not called Patch”.

9 years we've had the comments!

She's 11 and we regularly get asked if she's a puppy still too 💕

Came on to say this!

It's Puddle!

(I hope someone knows what I mean by this)

Ah he is absolutely gorgeous! I do feel your pain I have a puppy and I answer the same questions over and over again and it's getting pretty annoying now 🫣

Ds has a soft toy dog just like that. he called it "Pirate Doggy" when he first got it. He would have been nearly 2yo then. It's still called "Pirate Doggy" well over 10 years later.

My Gran's Jack Russell was similar markings and was called "Patch".

I watched Bolt many times with my son,its a great film.His name suits him too.

Some lovely comments. And WONDERFUL to see those gorgeous pics of other Not-Patches!!!

Lots of good boys in here!
I’m guilty of calling random dogs Spot. 🫣

Guess what we get...all the time!
