Yes, 31k dogs, or military working dogs, typically get to have names chosen for them, often reflecting their breed or personality. These dogs are usually around 1-2 years old when assigned to a handler. While they generally do not come home with their handlers between deployments, some programs may allow for short visits or time together during training exercises.
