This weekend has seen the streets of Boston treated to the completely ordinary sight of a man walking a dog.
What made it more than a little unusual was that the man was A’s starting pitcher Jesse Hahn. While many baseball players have dogs, they generally don’t travel with them.
But there was Hahn and Hank, the dog he shares with his girlfriend, Jessica Pauley.
The A’s hotel, the Taj Boston, is pet friendly, so when Jessica joined Hahn for the weekend series with the Red Sox, Hank came along.
A mini goldendoodle, Hank is a bundle of energy and friendly to the point where Hahn sometimes feels the need to rein that affection in.
