Patriots quarterback Tom Brady inspired the owners of all these dogs to name the animals Brady. Clockwise, from upper left, the dogs are owned by Jianna Donisvitch, David Simsarian, David and Janet Perkins, Jane Batzell, Jay and Denise Reny, Tee Kelly, Carolyn Levesque and Lynn Copeland.

Jane Batzell and Bob Cleaves' poodle named Brady.

Edelman, a nine-year-old Pomeranian owned by Elizabeth Paradis of South Portland. “He’s a frisky little thing. He’s very protective,” she said. “I feel like the name fits him. Edelman’s a small dog and he’s very fierce....It was going to be either Edelman or Fenway. But after I met him it was - he’s an Edelman.”
