I’m most excited about Dog Tales which features four touching dog-related features from the E:60 and SportsCenter SC
Dog Tales hosted by Tom Rinaldi:
- Arthur – A dog’s remarkable journey to find a home. The unlikely bond between a team of Swedish Adventure racers and an injured stray dog found in the Amazon Jungle. Now being made into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg.
- Fenway’s Best Friend — Two life-changing accidents and a PTSD diagnosis led Fenway Park’s head groundskeeper to a relationship with man’s best friend. The story of Dave and his dog Drago and how they built their own Field of Dreams.
- Owen + Haatchi — An E:60 story from 2014 about a boy and his dog. But not just any boy, and not just any dog. Together, Owen and Haatchi, with their improbable winning streak and their remarkable bond, are like nothing ever seen.
- A Warrior’s Way – U.S. military veteran and double-amputee Christy Gardner is inspired to compete by her service dog, a Golden Retriever named Moxie.
Can’t watch live? Don’t worry. The entire schedule, with the exception of Air Bud, will be available on demand via the ESPN App.
