What does Dozer mean?

Dozer is built from the verb "doze," meaning to nap lightly, so at its root the name means "one who dozes." It's also, coincidentally, short for bulldozer, giving it an entirely different, much heavier connotation.

That double meaning makes Dozer a fun fit either way: for the pet who sleeps in every sunbeam in the house, or for one who barrels through it like a small tank.
