If you’re looking for the best cosmic dog names for your out-of-this-world pooch, you’ll love my list!

Whether or not you believe in a higher power, I think we can agree that a dog is a wonderful gift from the universe (or the heavens, depending on your philosophy).
As you might know, a lot of stars, galaxies, and planets have a connection with Gods.
