A friend of mine named his dog Byte. The dog is very playful, and has the habit of running in the direction of other people he meets.

When the dog does that my friend tries to call him back shouting: "BYTE!! BYTE!!". People get really scared when this happens 😂

Okay, not so funny if you are the one being approached by the dog.

This reminds me of an article I read about a guy whose last name was Null.

This isn't it but is the first one I found when looking.

The story is pretty much what you would expect but still an amusing read.
