My dog and me fit the descriptions very well! My dog's name is Noodle, she is a small, white French bulldog! She is loving, and affectionate. She is my best friend, she’s beautiful, and empathetic. I have a playful and creative personality. And I do enjoy having fun and making people laugh. Her name fits her perfectly! This description is very accurate and I definitely recommend the name.
