Sheikh Hamdan asks residents to help name a female puppy

Dubai: Instagram followers of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, had a unique opportunity this weekend – to help him find a name for a female pet puppy.

The Dubai Crown Prince took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of the white-and-grey pup with his 16.7 million followers.

“Female name please,” he wrote in the caption.

Known to be an animal lover, this is not the first time Sheikh Hamdan has asked his followers to help name his pets.

Last year he had shared a video showing three excited dogs, with the caption: "We need three names here, for a male and both females."

He later picked the names Layl for the male dog and Mizoon and Nahar for the two female dogs. He shared the names on another Instagram Story and wrote: "Thanks to everyone".
