Human names for dogs ?

A Brazilian MP has drawn up a new law to ban people from giving their pets 'human' names.

Pastor Reinaldo, from Rio Grande do Sul, says it's embarrassing for people to find they have the same name as a dog or cat.

He told Terra Noticias Populares: "It is terribly embarrassing when someone finds out that someone else has named their pets with their name."

Under his new law, anyone who gives their animals a human name could be fined and also ordered to carry out community service.

The law, which was approved in the first round of voting, still has to be approved by a community commission to finally become active.
