Why I Try to Remember Your Name

Why I Try to Remember Your Name Why I Remember the Dog’s Name First Funny thing—I almost always remember the dog’s name before the person’s. “Oh, you’re Bailey’s dad!” But there’s a reason for that, and I unpack it in this post. Pets spark emotion, and that helps cement names in my memory. But I also talk about how I use that emotional trigger to circle back and learn the human name, too. We’re not just dog walkers—we’re a village of stories. Remembering names is how I remind myself of that, one “Hi, Carol” at a time.
