NC State’s Football Team is having a fantastic year and is undefeated at home with one more game left this Friday. But Ripken NC State’s tee retrieving dog has stolen some of the attention from the team. And it’s easy to see why. Ripken is also the bat dog for the Durham Bulls and is absolutely adorable.

Ripken trains at Sit Means Sit dog training in Apex, North Carolina.
