Explanation:

An appositive noun or phrase is said to be restrictive when the word that it modifies is being narrowed down. It simply tells the noun that one is writing about. A restrictive appositive is not separated from rest of the sentence by commas.

Since the sentence "My dog Zeus won at the county dog show" isn't separated by comma and tell us that the speaker owns more than one dog.
