BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - It looks like Christmas came early for the adorable K-9 bloodhound puppies that recently joined the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. The agency put out a call to the public to help name its litter of furry crimefighters – and the winning names have been chosen.
The sheriff's office received over 5,000 name suggestions in its "Name That Puppy" contest. They were needing names for 7 of the 10 puppies. Two of them were already named by the agency: Baby Blue after the puppies' dad and Cindy after a woman who donated K-9 ballistic vests to keep them safe while on duty.
The 10th puppy will be named as part of a new exhibit at the Brevard Zoo.
Suggestions came in from all over the world on what to call these adorable bloodhounds.
