The North Carolina Tar Heels will begin their journey to the College World Series in Omaha as the No. 2 overall seed in the 2017 NCAA Baseball Tournament.
They have a special friend in their dugout for that run.
The four-legged member of the Diamond Heels is none other than a two-year-old golden retriever named Remington or “Remi” for short. Although he cannot play in the games, Remington maintains a significant role for the team.
He is actually a psychiatric medical alert rehabilitation service dog. He is the first medical service dog for the university and the first one in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
