This collection draws inspiration from the historical events that took place on this day, July 4th, as well as the remarkable individuals born on this date. This collection showcases not only creativity and uniqueness, but also embodies the spirit of these events and personalities.

On this day in 1776, the United States Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, marking a pivotal moment in the history of freedom and self-governance. This spirit of independence resonates with the unique character of our canine companions, who each have their distinct personalities and traits. Similarly, in 1939, Lou Gehrig, despite being recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stood tall in Yankee Stadium, announcing his retirement from major league baseball and declaring himself as 'The luckiest man on the face of the earth'. His strength, resilience and optimism in the face of adversity are indeed qualities that we admire and seek to emulate, and they make for great inspiration for naming our loyal and courageous pets.

Additionally, we draw inspiration from individuals born on this day who have left an indelible mark in their respective fields. From the world of sports, we have Horace Grant, a former American professional basketball player renowned for his power and skill on the court, winning four championships in the NBA. From politics, we remember Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, known for his fiscal conservatism and small-government ideology. And from the realm of entertainment, we celebrate George Murphy, an accomplished American dancer, actor, and politician. The perseverance, talent, and dedication these individuals displayed are qualities we admire in our pets, and these names are a testament to their spirit.
