Our Washington Capitals have a new team puppy! He's a 9-week-old Chocolate Lab and his name is Biscuit!
The Caps have partnered with America’s VetDogs, which is a not-for-profit organization that trains service dogs to support Wounded Warriors and First Responders.
Biscuit will undergo puppy training by the Caps for up to the next year and a half. Then he'll go to Smithtown, New York, to learn how to be an official service dog. The Caps' previous puppy, Captain, also with America's VetDogs, is currently supporting a retired Marine.
