There's the Dog family living in London in 1871.

Samuel Dog Head
Mary A Dog Wife
Eliza Dog  Daughter
Samuel Dog Son

Of course they really are the Day family and have been transcribed incorrectly.

There's the Dog family living in London in 1871.

Shame they weren't around in 1891, gennig, when they could have tried to shrug off the Flea family in Grasmere!

THANKS BOB - yes, better not get too technical with me first thing on a Thursday morning... I'll copy and paste with pleasure!

Those London Dogs probably gave the place name Isle of Dogs
In 1891 we find 25 Kittens of whom 11 were  of the Scottish branch - the McKittens.  Most significant was  Catherine Kitten, 17, Toxteth Park [Cat Kitten - how cruel].
The Terriers number 56, headed by a single La Terrier from Canada. Amongst the Terriers we find a prime example of accuracy in transcription - Emilie Louise, a 29 year old servant from Genera, Sweden. It is of course, plain as a pikestaff, Geneva, Switzerland.
Those who have dealings with call centres based in India will readily understand how the same people handled transcriptions from English handwriting.

There are 4 Puppys in 1881:
Albin Puppy     abt 1853     Somerset, England     Head     Kington Langley     
Frances Puppy    abt 1843    Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire, England    Wife    Kington Langley    
Henry E. Puppy    abt 1874    Crockerton, Wiltshire, England    Son    Kington Langley

 Harriet B. Puppy     abt 1852     Orford, Suffolk, England     Servant     Islington

But I couldn't find them in 1891...had they grown into Dogs??!

Difficult adjudication here, emily ... on the one hand its easy money, but on the other its still 'interesting'.  How about a 5 point compromise for the job lot?
