The world was astounded in 1922 when it was announced that Tutankhamun's tomb had been discovered and as his multiple treasures were revealed after some 3,000 yrs., everybody became intrigued with ancient Egyptian styles in every facet of fashion and design. King Tut's possessions inspired the trends of that era for at least the next two or three decades and his name became synonymous with the finest, ultimate quality ever imagined. Hence, Hoover apparently adored this fine German police dog and tagged him with that revered name.

German shepherds are never happier than when they think themselves usefully employed. No sofa and bon-bons for Tut!
