what is his name?

the older lady asked for help
she requested a gurney for her dog
two veterinary assistants went out
with a gurney

this dog must have weighed three hundred pounds
his body and head were enormous
he was strapped down in five places
wearing a muzzle

I was thinking, “Brutus, Goliath, or Samson”.
What is his name? The receptionist asked the older lady.
“Flower,” she replied.
