    TBH, I know most of my neighbors by their dog’s names. Max’s owner, Buddy’s human, that sort of thing. And then there’s New Max’s owner. She lives 2 doors down from Original Max. No confusion there.

      Same. If someone can accept that I’m going to learn their pets names long before I learn their name, I’m likely to become good friends with them. But even so, I will remember their pets name long after I forget their name.
