Corporal Nero, a Military Police Patrol/Explosive Detector Dog, was in charge of the honorary puck drop between Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf and Flames captain Mark Giordano. [video]

it’s ok…. I didn’t need my heart

The best puck dropper to ever drop a puck.

Look at this INCREDIBLY GOOD DOG.

This is a great video.

I also want to point out some body language here. This dog is mildly stressed in this situation – you can see a little bit of tension around the eyes, in the set of tongue, a little bit in the standing stance, and how it looks around frequently – but this is a good example of where stress isn’t necessarily bad. This is a dog that’s learned to work in difficult situations, and a dog that can adapt to new environments pretty quickly. It’s a little stressed (my guess is that the situation is a bit overwhelming), but he’s still focused and on point and doing his job.
