I have in my possession a domesticated carnivorous mammal that has descended from the wolf - scientific name canis familiaris or canis lupus familiaris. Said animal possesses an Anglophone first name that is a common diminutive form of the names Frederick, Alfred, Manfred, or Wilfred.

As you may presumtively tell from my earlier use of the present tense, the dog that I have named Fred is well within the realm of the living; he is not deceased.
