The puppy is adorable - but I question the motive behind it. To me, it's an insincere addition to the "Mr. Nice Guy" social media hype.
Not buying it because I wonder what happenned to his other two dogs? He owned two Great Danes several years ago. Photo below.
I'm guessing that he got rid of them. Having worked in the veterinary field, I'm critical of people who toss their pets aside when it no longer suits them. (Not to mention their wives).
As you know from having worked in the veterinary field, big dogs don't live all that long. A great Dane's life expectancy is 8-10 years, and those dogs appear to be adults (
i.e., not in the first year of their respective lives) in the tweet from 2014.
I think a bunch of people around here overrate Wilson (a few are still serious Russ fellators), and I wish Wilson much failure and frustration now that he's not a Seahawk and has gone to the still-hated Broncos. I've even started enjoying referring to him as "RW3-and-out" (plus I made another three-and-out joke earlier in this thread). But I wouldn't accuse him of just cavalierly disposing of the previous dogs, especially when they should be right around great-Dane life expectancy now.
I also wouldn't make such an accusation without doing a simple Google search first. If you'd done that, you mighta seen that he still has the great Danes, according to
this article [it's a link - click it!] that I found through such a Google search since I started writing this reply.
Wilson's salary demands made it hard for the Seahawks to have a competitive team around him, he got his panties in a bunch because the Seahawks dared to look at other QB prospects while he was on the team, then he finally forced a trade, then he refused a trade to a team offering significantly more return to the Seahawks than the Teeth ended up giving them, so dislike Wilson all you want. He's become a "football villain" to me too. But that doesn't mean we should accuse him of borderline-criminal behavior when there's no good reason to believe he did something like simply disposing of his great Danes, and when there's in fact evidence that he didn't.
