Seeing the Dragon Age Pet confessions has made me happy that I am not alone. This big lovable lug is Fergus. I know Fergus is a Scottish name. I know it originates from “Fearghus”. I know it means… "man-strength, virility"/etc. I just think it sounds better as a dog’s name.
This is Fergus about an hour after I brought him home. He was four years old and surrendered by his family. I actually did not name him Fergus, that was the name his previous owners gave him so I decided to keep the name not only because of Dragon Age but because it did not feel right to force him to learn a new name. As I took this photo I was telling him what a handsome boy he is, that I love him and that I would never abandon him.
