The Lightning’s new pup is more than just a photo op prop

TAMPA — Bolt takes Missy Davis and Sarah Costello on a Starbucks run. He has a little romp in the leaves, and tries to eat a few things. Then, Bolt takes a nap.

All normal things for a 17-week-old yellow lab. But Bolt isn’t a normal puppy.

Few puppies have two-hour photo shoots to generate a video for his 3,000 Twitter followers. It’s all a day in the life of a team dog.

Looks like a chew toy, feels like a chew toy... But isn’t!Another lesson learned today. ufffdufffd pic.twitter.com/ODhaOjziyx

It’s not all fun and photo ops, though.
