Here’s a dog on the ice at the Verizon Center, home of the Washington Capitals.

Could this video benefit from further context?

Maybe.

Does it need further context, though?

Absolutely not:


What a good doggie! Frankly, there should be more dogs on ice videos, feels like that’s an underexplored dog video genre.

Also, what about a hockey-equivalent to the Puppy Bowl, timed with the Stanley Cup Finals? The Pup Cup? These ideas are free, people.

(Yes, I know Starbucks offers a pup cup of whipped cream to dogs, and yes that’s adorable, but there’s room for multiple adorable dog-related puns in the world.)

I’m willing to give it away because it’d be worth it to me to see adorable puppies sliding around on the ice.

For a few minutes at a time, of course, I don’t want them to get cold paws.
