“We will always have a dog.”
Our series Pro Pets presented by Nissan continues with our Cubs Pre and Postgame Host David Kaplan and his wife Mindy. They are joined by their dogs, 11-year-old mixed-breed Yoshi and 5-year-old Siberian Husky, Sparky.
Yoshi was adopted at a Wolves game where Kap dropped the puck for charity. A little black pup was up for adoption and his son Brett begged for the dog. After chatting with a volunteer at the event, Kap and his son, Brett, were told that the dog would be put down if he did not adopt him that night. A call was made to Mindy and then Yoshi was in the car going home with Kap and Brett.
“We are just the kind of couple that agrees that we want them sleeping in our bed," Mindy Kaplan said. "We want them snuggling with us.”
