This Twitter Thread About Dogs Named After Food Is So Cute We Just Want To Eat Them Up
Ana Marie Cox, founding editor of the political blog Wonkette and New York Times Magazine "Talk" interviewer started a Twitter thread of animals with food names and it is just scrumptious.
The thread started after she retweeted a photo of a sweet looking corgi at Corgi Beach Day in Southern California named Loaf.
She hashtagged the retweeted "pets named after food," and the thread was born.

Some Twitter users explained the names for their pets. "Maki got her name because she was as small as a little sushi roll," Emily Hahn explained.
