Capitals: A Captain appreciation post

Unless you’ve lived under a rock this season you probably already know about the Washington Capitals team dog Captain, who is training to become a new service dog for a veteran.

We first met him moments before the Caps home opener against the Carolina Hurricanes. In the team’s annual “Rock the Red Carpet” where players arrive to greet the fans, Alex Ovechkin came out of the car with the new pooch!

Captain was just 10 weeks old when he was introduced to Washington Capitals fans and as you’ve seen on the @CapsPup twitter account, he’s grown since that home opener!
