When we first heard of the dog Snoop, we thought the name might have come from the Peanuts comic dog, Snoopy. Or maybe he was just plain nosey. But no. Snoop was named after the famed Long Beach, California, rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, full stop.
Snoop (the canine, not the rapper) lives in the UK, in Bristol, with his owner, Elliott Ford, 30, giving the dog’s hip-hop street moniker a Coronation Street twist; Mr. Ford happens to love American rap music from across the pond, 5,000 miles away.
