OK dogs now......How did 'Fido' become the euphemism for a dog? I've always assumed it was Roman, though maybe that's because the dog in our lass's Latin Janet and John type books might have been called Fido. |

Because they are man's best friend..faithful = fido
🎼A four legged friend, a four legged friend,
He'll never let you down,
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one, two, three four legged friend🎵
