What does Doug mean?
/dʌɡ/1 syllable

Doug is a short form of Douglas, a Scottish name built from the Gaelic dubh and glais, meaning "black" and "stream" - together, roughly "black water," originally describing a river.

Doug is plain, friendly, and a little bit funny in its very ordinariness - a good pick for a pet whose personality is bigger than their unassuming name suggests.
