Dear Mr. MacKinnon, can the Avalanche please get a puppy? Please?
Service dogs-in-training are slowly taking over the NHL, and rightly so.
The St. Louis Blues and the Ottawa Senators are both helping to raise puppies that are in training to be guide dogs. And at this point, every NHL team should have one.
The puppies come to practice, home games, and are just cheerful creatures to have around. Both teams got their fans involved in naming the dogs and the puppies already have strong fanbases of their own.
Just look.
