In the U.S. state of New Jersey, a dog named Charlie has become a full-fledged member of the women’s basketball team at Montclair University. Charlie works as part of the coaching staff’s support team and has a positive influence on the athletes.
The basketball team’s website even features a photo and the full name of the dog – Charley Cunningham Jones. Her official title is “Director of Pawsitivity” (a play on the words “paw” and “positivity”).
Charlie, a two-year-old Golden Retriever, holds the prestigious role of Director of Pawsitivity. With a heart as golden as her fur, she motivates the team with tail wags and her ability to boost spirits both on and off the court, according to her biography.
The team also mentioned that Charlie not only lifts spirits but also provides emotional support and comfort.
Charlie is a beloved member of the team. She loves basketball, as well as all of our student-athletes and staff. When she’s not working, Charlie enjoys long walks, belly rubs, swimming, fetching sticks, and, of course, treats!, the team added.
The basketball team’s website invites everyone to visit Charlie’s Instagram page, where there are plenty of photos and videos of her at work and at play.
