Meaning and background
The story behind Booboo
Booboo is recorded as an English word as well as a possible pet name. Merriam-Webster's Scrabble dictionary uses the joined spelling and defines it as a mistake, with the plural booboos; Collins's thesaurus confirms the same sense. This is firmer evidence than assuming that every Booboo comes from a cartoon character or an injury nickname. For a particular dog, the dictionary association can coexist with an owner's separate affectionate story.
