More language lessons: Cane versus Carne...

The other day I was attempting to converse with an elderly Italian lady in our study town, Civitanova Alta. There was a little dog running about and I was attempting to ask her what the dog's name was... unfortunately I mixed up "Carne", which is "meat", with "Cane", which is dog. So I guess what I was asking is "what is this meat's name?" Which did seem to cause her confusion...
