“I’m a big fan of the misunderstood,
The vilified, and the underdog.”
Dominic Monaghan
Music: A Whole New World
I usually don’t watch the dog shows
Because they cater to only the pedigrees
But I watched The World Dog Awards last night
Which honored rescued dogs and mixed breeds
I was delighted when Top Honor went to adorable Hank
An abandoned dog, who wandered onto a baseball field
The Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Team soon adopted him
And lovable Hank soon went from an underdog to a celebrity
I have been following Hank’s celebrity status, for quite some time now
Yet one more abandoned dog, who has finally found some love and respect
And because of Hank, The Brewers have teamed up with a Humane Society
Which now receives 20 percent of all sales of Hank Gear, T-Shirts, and Vests
And I remain a Big Fan of All Underdogs, Everywhere

To the wandering onto the ballfield "Hank" has warmed our hearts.
Thank you for sharing.

As for your Hank, he sure looks like a crowdpleaser!
