Sorry to Pxss on your fire, or rain on your parade Pete ... but probably not !!
Its in memory of my first dog Lummox who took his name from a science fiction book by Robert A Heinlein
THE STAR BEAST
The star beast's name was Lummox and my dog lummox was indeed a " Star Beast " namely big, fearsome and possibly scary ( German Shepherd ) BUT actually a Big Softy
Sad but true
