Pro Pets: Alex DeBrincat and his DeBrindog, Ralph

Share

A pet can be just what is needed after a long day at work, whether that be in an office or on an ice rink. We sat down with Blackhawks left wing Alex DeBrincat and his girlfriend, Lyndsey, as they introduce us to their dog, Ralph. 

Ralph, otherwise known as ‘Ralph DeBrindog’ has a big social media following, ralph_debrindog on Instagram

He’s a one-and-a-half-year-old Shiba Inu that took some time to find and is still learning how to be a good boy.

“If you would have asked me a few months ago, I probably would have said a one," DeBrincat said when asked how good Ralph is. "But he’s made a lot of improvements these last few months.”

Lyndsey wasn’t afraid to aim higher, calling him “a seven out of 10.”

But which of DeBrincat's Blackhawks teammates does Ralph remind Alex of?

"We’ll go Patrick Kane, because he’s the star of the show," Alex said. "He likes the attention and is the best little guy around.”

Just look at that face:

Now Lyndsey wants to find him a friend, but it’s going to take some convincing to get Alex on board.
