One year and a Dog of the Year Award later, Hank returns to Brewers Spring Training
One year later, Hank the Dog returns to Phoenix
One year ago, Hank was a scared and lonely stray with matted white hair when he stumbled upon Brewers camp.
The next 12 months were a whirlwind. After making the team and becoming its mascot, winning a Dog of the Year Award along the way, Hank returned to Phoenix, the Brewers' spring home. He's looking plenty different than those first days:
What a difference a year (and a lot of love) makes. Welcome back to AZ, Hank. #CactusCrew #BallparkPup pic.twitter.com/kIBEW0ucyl
