A judge has denied a Green Tree, Pennsylvania, man’s petition to legally change his name to Boomer The Dog, saying it would cause confusion and have unintended consequences, such as “putting the public welfare at risk.” Gary Guy Mathews – a 44-year-old fan of anthropomorphism, the lifestyle that celebrates giving human characteristics to animals – is also a fan of the 1980s NBC series “Here’s Boomer,” which featured a dog who rescued people. Mathews says his friends already call him Boomer, as did his late parents, though that took some persuading.
