What could be the origin of a dog named Neverending Story?

I'm not sure if Falkor, the flying dog in 'The Neverending Story', is named after anyone. It seems like the name was created specifically for this unique and magical character in the story. It could be a name that the author just came up with to fit the fantastical nature of the Luckdragon.

Once upon a time, there was a dog named Neverending Story. He was a little terrier with a big heart. He loved to explore the neighborhood, always sniffing around every corner. One day, he chased a squirrel all the way to the park. There, he found a group of kids playing. Neverending Story was so friendly that he joined them, running around and fetching the ball they threw. It was like he was part of their never - ending game of fun.

Well, it could be a very imaginative concept. Maybe it represents a sense of freedom (the flying dog) within a never - ending or infinite narrative (the neverending story). It might be a symbol of something that stands out or is unique in a complex, unending situation.

Well, in The Neverending Story, the big dog could be a guide. You know, like leading the protagonist through the unknown and dangerous parts of the story's world. It might have some special knowledge about the different regions and be able to show the way to hidden treasures or the solutions to problems. For example, it could know how to get past a menacing monster or find a magical object that is crucial for the story's development.

In the context of the neverending story, the dog and the dragon could symbolize different aspects of human nature. The dog might stand for our domesticated, friendly side, and the dragon for our wild, powerful, and sometimes feared side. The story could be exploring how these two sides coexist and develop over the course of the neverending narrative.

The Neverending Story has a rich tapestry of characters. While Falkor is the well - known dragon, I haven't noticed any characters named straightforwardly after a dog. As for the dragon, Falkor's name is unique in the story. There could be a case where a character's name has a derivative or an allusion to Falkor, but it's not something that jumps out immediately. It could be that the creators of the story chose not to have such obvious naming after the dragon to keep the mystery and the uniqueness of Falkor intact.

Well, it could be that the horse has a sort of mysterious or epic quality to it, like the 'Neverending Story' itself. Maybe it's a very energetic horse that seems to have an unending supply of stamina, just like the story that goes on and on.

If there was a dog breed in The NeverEnding Story, it might be a large and shaggy one, perhaps with the ability to run super fast across the magical landscapes. Maybe it could have a special bond with the main characters and help them in their quests.

One possibility could be that the dog has a name passed down through generations in a family. Each new family member adds a new chapter to the story related to the dog's name. For example, if the dog is named 'Buddy', the first owner might have named it so because it was always by their side like a buddy. Then, the next owner could have a story about how 'Buddy' saved them from a dangerous situation, and this story keeps getting told and added to, making it a neverending story about the dog's name.

I'm not sure if there is an actual flying dog in 'The Neverending Story'. But if there was, a possible name could be 'Skyrider' as it gives the impression of a dog that rides the skies.
