Troopers put out a Facebook post Friday afternoon, asking for name suggestions for two handsome pups, both male German Shepherds.

Some of the names their followers have suggested are job-related, like Badge or Colt. Others suggested literary or movie names, like Sherlock and Watson or Goose and Maverick. 

One person suggested naming the pooches after fallen CSP officers to honor them.

To share a name suggestion, go to their Facebook post and leave the names in the comments.
