King County released its 2021 list of most popular pet names and &#8216;Bella&#8217; and &#8216;Luna&#8217; came out on top.<\/p>\n<p>The data comes from the residents who applied to license their new pet in 2021. In total, people registered 66,279 dogs and 27,020 cats last year. Sorry cats, you&#8217;re still outnumbered in King County.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top 10 dog names<\/strong><br \/>\n1) Bella<br \/>\n2) Lucy<br \/>\n3) Max<br \/>\n4) Charlie<br \/>\n5) Buddy<br \/>\n6) Daisy<br \/>\n7) Luna<br \/>\n8) Bailey<br \/>\n9) Cooper<br \/>\n10) Molly<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top 10 cat names<\/strong><br \/>\n1) Luna<br \/>\n2) Lucy<br \/>\n3) Bella<br \/>\n4) Max<br \/>\n5) Shadow<br \/>\n6) Charlie<br \/>\n7) Kitty<br \/>\n8) Jack<br \/>\n9) Lily<br \/>\n10) Oliver<\/p>\n<p>The county says if a licensed pet, like Shadow or Charlie, are lost, whomever finds these poor cats can call the number on the pet&#8217;s tag 24\/7 and the pet will be reunited with their owner. And it&#8217;s a free ride home (for the first time they&#8217;re lost &#8230; let&#8217;s not make a habit of this)!<\/p>\n<p>You can get a pet license <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-us.mimecast.com\/s\/m86xCBBRP9FD3rOJFzij7u?domain=kingcounty.gov\">online here<\/a>. Also, many city halls and QFC stores sell pet licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Mueller, D.V.M., the manager of Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) noted in a news release, \u201cLicensing our pets helps protect them if they ever become lost. You can register your pet\u2019s microchip along with your pet license record so if a pet slips away without a collar, our field officers and the RASKC shelter can quickly reunite you with your pet. It provides great peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Did you hear that, Buddy?<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/http:\/\/twitter.com\/Mynorthwest\"
