Dirk Nowitzki has had sandwiches named after him, children and now a dog.
A dog?
Swish, an eight-week old guide dog puppy-in-training from Guide Dogs for the Blind, met with Nowitzki, who goes by the nickname Swish, this week.
See the adorable connection here.
Swish is a male yellow Labrador Retriever who will live with a puppy-raising volunteer for the next year before entering formal guide dog training to become a life-changing partner to an individual who is blind or has low vision.
Nowitzki is a big fan of dogs.
