After deputy names K-9 ‘Trump,’ a Fla. department may change policy on dog names

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — After an image of an Orange County Sheriff’s Office dog named “Trump” was featured in a Facebook meme, the agency said it may tell its deputies to avoid naming their four-legged partners after real people.
A picture showing an OCSO deputy’s patrol car — which, like most K-9 deputies’ vehicles, has a decal featuring the dog’s name and picture — was posted Wednesday by the Facebook page “Cop Humor,” which describes itself as a “pro-law enforcement conservative group.”
The meme had garnered more than 1,000 likes, 200 shares and nearly 100 comments by Thursday afternoon, and was shared by Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 93, which represents Orange County deputies.
