What does Bullet mean?
/ˈbʊlɪt/

Bullet refers to the small metal projectile fired from a gun, a word borrowed from French boulet, meaning "little ball," a diminutive of boule, "ball." It's since become common shorthand in English for anything fast, small, and dense.

Bullet suits a dog built for speed - lean, quick, and always ready to take off at a sprint.
