10. Glenn Robinson III, Indiana Pacers + Jewelz

Glenn Robinson III found love in Minnesota back in February 2015 – a sweet and tiny black lab, American pitbull mix whom he named Jewelz. Adopted from the Animal Humane Society in a suburb of Minneapolis, Jewelz quickly carved out her place in Glenn’s life. From Minnesota to Philadelphia to Indiana, Jewelz has been Robinson’s best friend and literal road dog.

The 2017 All-Star Slam Dunk champion and Michigan Alum recently took to Instagram to announce the end of Jewelz’ hiatus from the social media platform. You can follow the adventures of Jewelz and Glenn at @jewelzrob1. What to expect? Jewelz is an incredibly photogenic pup who seems to enjoy a wide variety of interests including, but not limited to: contemporary art, the Fourth of July (read: hot dogs) and basking in the sunshine in her front yard.

Jewelz’ aptitude for technology doesn’t stop at Instagram, either. Jewelz has her selfie angles down and she knows how to FaceTime, which certainly comes in clutch when Glenn’s on the road throughout the season.

Jewelz looks good in pink and she looks good in Glenn’s arms, too. Happy National Dog Day, Jewelz and Glenn! Celebrate with some treats and fun
