The sense of affection between the two is undeniably very strong. White has expressed his love for Steve quite a few times through his social media. Treating fans to a lot more snuggles and cuddles, Shaun often shares pictures of himself with Steve, leaving fans in awe.
White’s dog has a great story behind his name ‘Steve’. In an interview, the athlete revealed that it’s not just Steve, but Effing Steve, when he’s causing a ruckus.
White was inspired by a cartoon that had a guy named Steve in it. The character in the cartoon worked at a school and was extremely mischievous, like his dog. Unable to ignore the similarities between the two, White decided to name his dog Steve.

“It comes from this cartoon that I love. It’s like this adult cartoon where there’s these two guys that work at the school and the one guys named Steve. He’s always blowing it and they’re like F and Steve sit in the car I’m like why don’t we just call him Steve?” said the athlete.
White further said that the dog has the potential to gain more popularity than he did. The bond shared by the two is heartwarming to witness. However, do you think mischievous Steve will turn into a bigger celebrity than White himself?
