tennis players with doggies

[pondhop]

I'm shallow, and I admit it: while it's true that a good crosscourt backhand or approach volley can make me wriggle my shoulders with appreciation, I'm also wholly capable of cheering for a player (or at least cutting them some slack) simply because they are kind to puppies. The most recent photos on my timeline:

(Past sightings, which I'll blog about some other time, include Djokovic, Murray, Mauresmo, Ferrero, V. Williams, and Lendl)
