Today is National Puppy Day. With all of us stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, we figured there’d be no better article to re-post than our photo post from the Capitals’ canine photoshoot earlier this season. The pictures were taken by RMNB’s Cara Bahniuk.
The outing marked Captain’s photoshoot debut and boy, he was so smol then! Now he’s a big chunker.
You can see our photos from past Capitals’ dog calendar shoots here: 2018 with the Stanley Cup | 2017 | 2015
