For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

Very happy to announce that the ChatGPT outage did not impact our work on Mini Motorways as we operate on New Zealand time. That and all our workers are human beings who use normal human being software

Years ago, I curated a small project called Meditations. It has a different game or toy, made by a different developer or creative, for every day. If you want to play a tiny playful thing every day of the year - now could be a great day to start.
