        My dad got the “cave canem” dog mosaic as a coaster when he visited Pompeii. He also put a “cave canem” sign above the dog house, which made most of the people walking by think his name was Cave.

        People don’t know much Latin even in college towns.

        :O Thanks so much for the link! I was only remembering Beowulf’s dog which (IIRC) was only ever referred to as a war-dog.
