Today is Canada day! National Geographic’s digital nomad Andrew Evans is traveling through Ontario. On each one of Andrew’s trips, he “adopts” a local dog. Here’s a picture of Andrew with his dog from this trip. (He doesn’t keep the dog.) Read more about Andrew’s adventures and his dogs.

Read about his adventures and help name his trip dog!

My name is Andrew Evans and I am a writer for National Geographic Traveler magazine. I have a blog, Digital Nomad, where I write and show videos about my travels all over the world.

When I was a kid I loved two things: maps and dogs! At school, I liked to look at maps all day long and after school, I liked to play with dogs. For my social studies class I entered the National Geographic Bee and won third place for the state of Ohio. I never imagined that I’d end up working for National Geographic and getting to visit all the places I had seen on maps.

Traveling so much is lots of fun but it means I can’t have a dog at home. Instead, I get to meet dogs all over the world. Every time I meet a dog that I like, anywhere in the world, I take a picture of it and call that dog “my dog”. Then I send the picture out to all my friends who follow my travels on my website. This way I get to have lots of dogs in lots of different countries.

What do you think Andrew should name his dog from this trip? Leave your favorite name in a comment!

    I think you should name your dog, Fluffy, Cotton or maybe Puffy. Is it a boy or a girl?

    My big brother had a dog named Chatham that looked just like that – I vote for that name!

    Hey…nice dog :)

    I voted for the name “Fluffy”
    But I only done that because Fluffy is one of my nicknames ;)

    Chatham is a lovely name for that beautiful dog.

    I think that he should name the dog Hail because the dog looks like a big piece of hail. It also looks like a big fluff ball. (=0)

    If it’s a boy I’d say Snowstorm or Arctic. If it’s a girl I’d say Snow Queen or Winter. I think these u’ll suit your dog fine. I’ll admit, these names will make your dog sound cool. ;D I vote these awesome names!
