I think Luke is a cool name for a dog but I know someone who has a dog named Luke, for example, aunt Megan used to have Luke, who is a beagle, but now, he is sent to a new home. And also Mrs Lyon owns a golden retriever named Luke and I think he’s so cute, but he’s also friendly, playful, smart, and gentle and very good with kids.
