Poor Lil’ Rufio.
The Pomeranian Husky was blamed for former Lions tight end Joseph Fauria’s ankle injury in 2014 that eventually led to the end of his career in Detroit. And as it turns out, the bizarre story of him chasing his peeing puppy and slipping down the stairs wasn’t true.
In his recently released “Figure It Out” podcast, Fauria admitted he suffered the injury while playing volleyball with some friends, which he originally dismissed as a rumor at the time.
“I hit the ball, 10-foot line, (heck) yeah, everyone’s cheering,” Fauria said on his podcast.
