Cindy,

There is a much simpler option here. I completely forgot about it.

This is one of Richard Ishida's character pickers. Just chose your
characters and click them in and then copy and paste.

I can't help you with spelling the name of the dog but you can look
here for possible equivalent letters.

And you might be able to ask Lameen, here, to help you.

Good luck.
