For Pete's Sake

Very good dog provides assist on alley-oop dunk by his owner’s friend

My dogs excel in a couple of key areas: taking long naps and chasing rabbits and squirrels.

You’ll note that neither involves basketball. No, that’s an area of expertise for a dog that is owned by a friend of Max Pearce.

Pearce, who participated in the 2018 College Dunk Contest (and took a selfie on one dunk), got a little help from the dog for an alley-oop dunk, which you can see in the video above.

The dog’s name is KOA and he gets the assist on that basket. The video was shot in Yonkers, N.Y.

And, yes, he’s a very good dog.
