Sunflower

In our company there is a raggedy little dog which the security guards have kindly quasi-adopted. Nothing unusual in that, it seems to be a common occurence across the country, having a stray 'pet' dog and group ownership. The difference is that while most of these dogs have standard names like Tommy, Moti, Sheru, Tuffy (on the fancier side) our resident ragamuffin has been lovingly named Sunflower by the guards!
I don't about you, but that's just about the most unusual doggie name I've ever heard of, not to mention the most droll. The logic can't be questioned - Sunflower's (!) coat is a patchy yellow-orange and white which obviously reminded the enthusiastic guards of a sunflower. I don't know what variety has orange and white petals but in their defence, their intentions were noble!
