The dog's name is Marvin. Marvin is one of the most delightful characters in the film and steals numerous scenes! In fact, you know how they say that owner's begin to resemble their dogs and vice versa. I saw a parallel between Paterson and his dog. They were both not terribly attractive and posessed low energy. They were also great listeners and observers of human behavior. Paterson would quietly observe passenger conversations on his bus, while at home it was Marvin who was always listening to the conversation between Paterson and his girl friend.
