The Week contest: Property dogs
This week's question: A Miami mansion has been put on the market for $31 million by its owner, a German shepherd named Gunther VI. The dog is the beneficiary of a $500 million trust bequeathed in 1992 to Gunther's great-grandfather by his late owner, a German countess. Please come up with a name for a real estate firm that caters to wealthy pooches.
