Wolf Trap Animal Rescue surprises Nationals with puppies before series against Athletics

The Washington Nationals are struggling mightily this season. They are by far the worst team in the MLB (league-worst 43 wins) and controversially traded away superstar Juan Soto at the trade deadline. They need all pick-me-ups they can get.

Tuesday, they received one. Nationals players hung out with puppies from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue before kicking their series off against the Oakland Athletics.

Tom Wilson spends off day helping rescue animals, holds one-day-old kittens

Tom Wilson’s lorge hands are perfect for scoring goals (and sometimes punching faces) in hockey, but recently we learned that they can also serve as a nice protective home for some of the smolest kittens on Earth, too.

The just-turned-28 Capitals star spent his off day on Wednesday assisting Wolf Trap Animal Rescue staff with the intake and processing of over 73 animals in need. Wilson was joined by his fiancee Taylor Pischke, Capitals defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, and Trevor’s wife Annie van Riemsdyk.

All the cuddly and furry cuteness from Capitals Canine Night

The Washington Capitals hosted Capitals Canine Night on Monday at Capital One Arena. And you guys, it wasn’t just a feel-good promotion to sell tickets and get butts in seats (which it was successful in doing).

The promotion was also a multi-pronged activation inside the arena that had — metaphorically speaking — a lot of juicy, steak-flavored treats to it. Like players holding tiny, adorable, adoptable puppies!!!

Can we get a dog

Dear Washington Capitals,

Hi, how are you. We think that we should get a dog. By we we mean you. We think you should get a dog.

Everyone else has a dog, and we think it would be good if we had a dog too. Whole bunches of sports teams have rescue dogs now that they trot out to make people happy, plus they take good care of them and then find happy homes for them, and that sounds like something the Caps could absolutely get down with.

If you want us to help with the dog, we will. The dog can sleep in my bed if it wants, I don’t even care.

Please allow me to elaborate.

Meet the five puppies working for NHL teams

There’s a new trend in the NHL. A year after the Winnipeg Jets hired a new security puppy, five different NHL teams have brought in adorable pups of their own this season. It’s almost as if the NHL is realizing puppies + hockey players = viral content.

This season, the St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, and New York Islanders are all training their own puppies to do better deeds in life. These cute dogs will go on to become service dogs, ranging from seeing-eye dogs to dogs that help with motor impairments and Autism.

There really is not much is better than a dog with a job, so let’s acquaint ourselves with these five new fantastic hockey doggos.
