@Mamapolo2016 I never knew Moses was a dog. I love dogs.

I am certain there have been dogs named Moses. But it's just an expression: "I knew that lad since he was a pup."

@Mamapolo2016 First, I thought you were talking about the Biblical Moses, you know, like "since Adam was a lad", that kind of thing. Second, we don't use "pup" in that context where I live now or where I was born (about 40 miles away).

@Mamapolo2016 From where I live now. I currently live in Manchester, I moved here in the 1970s. I was born in Chester, about 40 miles south west from Manchester.

Probably an ancient American turn of phrase then. @Bewilderbeeste

From a site suggesting names for dogs:
@Bewilderbeeste
I knew it.
@Bewilderbeeste
Moses – The name Moses is Egyptian in origin and by definition it translates to mean “born of a God.” Moses is known for leading his people out of Egypt and as such it is a good name choice for a born leader or a father of the pack.
I knew it.
