Well, kind of. ZeroSupporT and I couldn't agree on a name for him. There is a guy at his work that's last name is Dobbins, and he had lost his dog right before we got ours. Since he looks like he could be wearing a tux, ZeroSupporT thought Dobbins was a good butler name. It's the only thing that we could agree on, and when we got him, he just looked like a Dobbins. I wanted to get a female dog and name her Dixie, but males where cheaper. So, to answer your question, not really. But, after we picked out a name, I remembered Dobby from Harry Potter. So, Dobby is his nickname, and yes that is from the movie.
