Of course, there's the Terry Pratchett explanation! (in "Moving Pictures"), where Gaspode the Wonder Dog is explaining how he got named after the more famous Gaspode, a dog who in Ankh-Morpork bears a suspicious resemblance to Greyfriars Willie.
"Course he sat by the graveside howling and didn't move" said Gaspode. "You're bound to howl and not move a lot when they've just planted a bloody great heavy gravestone on your tail, aren't you? Stands to reason, that"
Now I know the full story on which Pratchett created Gaspode, and I think you!
