State Newton's first law of motion. Why is it known as the law of inertia?

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.

In a qualitative way, the tendency of undisturbed objects to stay at rest or to keep moving with the same velocity is called inertia. This is why, the first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia.

According to newton's first law of motion an object tends to remain at rest or in uniform motion until and unless and external forces acts on it so suppose a dog is sleeping and then suddenly it wakes up and starts walking so it has come into motion without any external force acting on it how
