"I've always called him Dogmeat." Which isn't quite the answer to that question, but it's the most honest one he's got. Tobi is, however, immediately occupying his mouth with beet soup in lieu of dwelling on it.

Dogmeat simply melts into the attention. His ears perk and swivel as her hand strokes between them, and his tail begins to swish behind him as he leans forward into the petting and heaves a big sigh of contentment, still staring up at her with those clear mismatched eyes.

Perhaps the oddity of the difference in color contributes to it, but there's an uncommon intelligence in that gaze; especially for a wasteland mutt.

"Dogmeat," she repeats and turns her attention to the dog so she can continue to shower him with attention and affection. He deserves it for being a good boy, after all. She looks over to Tobi with a tilt of her head, but lets him enjoy the soup as much as he likes.

"What is your name?" she asks him instead.
