As you may have heard, Matt Murray has a Newfie puppy, Beckham. So he’s clearly a dog lover; you definitely don’t get a breed as big as that if you can’t handle them.
Murray is also from Thunder Bay, whose humane society needs some help after rescuing a lot of dogs as of late. So he’s doing his part to help out: auctioning off one of the sticks he played with when he was on Team North America for the World Cup of Hockey, with all proceeds going to their humane society.
So basically the deal is: it’s probably going to cost a fair bit, but that’s all money going to help animals who desperately need it in Murray’s hometown, and you get one of his sticks.
If you can afford it, that sounds like a really good deal - and good on Murray for finding another way to help out the dogs in the Thunder Bay area.
You can find the auction ongoing here.
