Dogs bring so much to our lives - from boosting our mental health to increasing our physical fitness and sparking our creativity. Most dog owners have nicknames for their pets inspired by their real name or their appearance, hobbies or behaviours.
That's exactly how one man started calling his dog Onion after slipping up saying her real name. Taking to Reddit, he said: "This is a bit of an inside joke with my family. I have a dog named Anya. One day when I was calling her inside, when she was still a young puppy, I said onion by mistake, and she came running.
"It's kind of been a running joke in my family that we call her Onion instead of Anya - she responds to both." His dog's nickname was nothing more than a family joke until a woman took personal offence to it when he visited a pet store to pick out new toys for his precious pets.
