The NHL team in Minnesota added a new pup to their team roster this year. Hatty signed a one-year training contract with the Wild this year. This adorable Golden Retriever puppy is the fifth rescue dog from Coco's Heart Dog Rescue that the team has taken under their wing.
In the past years, the team dog has gone on after their one season to work with Soldier 6. This Minnesota-based organization trains dogs for honorably discharged veterans, police officers, and firefighters. When Hatty's season is over, she will find her permanent home with a veteran experiencing PTSD, and she will help them through any challenges.
You can follow along on Hatty's season on Instagram. Such a great program that the Wild supports. | | | Image courtesy of @mnwildpup | | Are You New Here?

Each breed has its own unique qualities, but the coats are one way to distinguish many of them easily. With fluffy tails and lush coats, some breeds require a little extra grooming and effort (or at least a good vacuum.) If you are looking for a hairy dog (or maybe you want to avoid some of the hairiest), here is a list of the top ten. - Afghan Hound - These dogs are famous for their long, flowing locks of hair. The silky hair helps protect them from the elements.
- Tibetan Mastiff - This hairy breed looks like a bear and has a double coat to protect it from cold.
- Komondor - These dogs look a bit like a mop at a quick glance. They have corded locks that don't shed but require special care.
- Samoyed - This is a classic sled dog that can handle cold temperatures, and they are covered in dense white fur that is oddly dirt-resistant.
- Shih Tzu - These dogs were originally bred for Chinese emperors and still require a bit of royal pampering.
- Shetland Sheepdog - This fluffball is one of the smartest small dog breeds. The long, thick coat requires regular grooming and brushing.
- Newfoundland - The water-resistant fur is helpful for this swimming breed that has been used for water rescues for years.
- Pekingese - This tiny breed has a fluffy mane and puffy tail and needs some brushing and maintenance. Plus, you have to deal with their sassy attitudes.
- Old English Sheepdog - The thick coat sheds heavily throughout the year and requires quite a bit of cleanup, but these popular and lovable dogs are great companions.
- Pomeranian - These fluffy little dogs are descendants of Iceland sled dogs and have a nice cuddly coat for warming a lap.
