On Friday, the Washington Capitals and Captain traveled up to Long Island for a Saturday matinee against the New York Islanders, which was a crazy 6-4 comeback win for the visiting team. The Caps Pup made a surprise visit to America’s VetDogs’ headquarters in Smithtown yesterday. Today, he met a special friend, who is also a part of America’s VetDogs’ “Puppies with a Purpose” group.

Afterward, the two pups headed down to the ice to watch warm-ups. Captain received a puck from center Evgeny Kuznetsov and reunited with forward Brendan Leipsic.

Captain is undergoing his 16-month training to become a service dog for a veteran or first responder with disabilities. Once the basic training is finished with the Capitals, the pup will go back to America’s VetDogs for a few months of final preparations before becoming an official service dog.
