Webster's Dictionary tells us that cool means moderately cold, but Mr. Webster isn't choosing dog names for us, is he? When a person is cool, he or she is looked up to, people want to be like the cool person. Cool people are popular and have a lot of friends, even if they act like they don't want them because they are so cool. What is it that makes a dog cool, though?
