A rescue, we're dog people in our fam. A female Jack Russell that he named Kobe. In literal, non-slang use, bitch is a term for female canines, particularly amongst dog breeders He doesn't seem as anti-Lakers as I am so this kinda threw me for a loop.
My friend has a cat named Kobe. It was originally Toby, but he was always trying to mount his other cats so he changed the name.
If he starts brushing it daily and giving it a massage - he might want to make steak out of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_beef
