Dierks Bentley played the Today show August 1st, which happens to also be known as “Dogust,” aka National Mutt Day, aka the official birthday of any pooch whose birthday is unknown. He performed on the plaza for thousands of screaming fans, and then fate stepped in and he went inside to talk to the Today crew.
To celebrate Dogust, they also had the founder of Muddy Paws Rescue in New York City on the show with some pups who were looking for forever homes. So there’s Dierks, holding an adorable little 8-week-old border collie mix named Goose. Or Garrett. Nobody’s sure which is which. But Dierks feels a connection with the little guy and says, “my kids have been hammering me for a third dog.” And he says his nickname for one of his daughters is Goose, so it’s obviously meant to be. So he calls home and talks to the wife, and… yep. Goose (the name he’s going with) is now a Bentley.
You know, there are a ton more shelter dogs who need forever homes. Can we help you find one perfect for your pack? https://www.petfinder.com/
Happy Dogust, y’all.
