That's how we got the pic...
Holy Crap, These Dogs Interrupting A Soccer Match Are Adorable
OK, we're done. Lance Armstrong could fess up to drinking freshly-harvested stem cells, Bill Belichick could kill a hooker, Derek Jeter could fail a steroid test, and this would still be the biggest sports news of the day.

Adorable Dog Wins Stupid Contest At Reds Game
This is Treasure, everybody.

Via Fox 2 St. Louis, we now have the most endearing story of 2012. David Backes is a good hockey player. They don't have to do good work to stand out.
