Slegr Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I don’t even understand how a team has a dog. Who takes it out to poop every morning? The janitor? Maybe that’s why it died so young, if nobody actually looks after it. The whole team is off during the all star break. Who was looking after the frigging dog?? 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit. Very sad. Alf loves furry dogs. Dogs (furry animals) are so much better than people. Tbh people suck socks. Dogs always win over people.

Not the time, nor the place. Reminds me of a manager at my old job when I told him I had to have my dog put down. He responded with "it's just a dog". I wanted to punch him in the fucking skull, kick him in the balls, and throw him down the stairs. Then say "now you feel like I feel".

Hell, the 1st day we had our dog home, she stole my sock. She's 6 now, and every once in awhile she still steals one of my socks. I both love it and hate it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he had a daily owner just a figure head for the team somehow. Poor guy, RIP. All dogs go to heaven. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was like a daytime job for Ryp. He was being trained as a guide dog - probably a kickass one at that. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Wasn't Ryp the dog young? So sad. Maybe the best lesson from dogs is the unconditional love they have. When you get home they are just happy to see you. Maybe that's something we humans need to emulate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted February 3 Popular Post Share Posted February 3 Say it isn't so??!! I've "met" this beautiful boy a few times and had a big, swiping face lick. It's so sad, he's too young to be gone. The rainbow bridge just got a beauty of a friend up there....may he RIP. I'm devastated over this news. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-team-dog-ryp-passed-away 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyBOI Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Lets cherish Ryp's spirit so he continues to inspire us, just as Rick Rypien's legacy lives on through the love and support of this incredible community. My thoughts and condolences go out to the Vancouver Canucks organization, Ryp's caregivers, and everyone who knew and loved him. May your hearts find solace in the cherished memories and the enduring love that Ryp leaves behind. My deepest condolences, MidKnight Ego aka Petey-Boi 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the dog didn't stay at the arena. It would have had a home with a staff member in all likelihood and 'team dog' would have been a title. I think someone mentioend it may have been training to be a guide dog? Either way, this comment is ridiculous on many levels 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this comment is ridiculous on many levels Honestly, I've never heard of the Canucks team dog. I'm a dog lover myself, but when I come to an NHL message board, in the Canucks talk section, it's more about the hockey for me. I understand now that the Canucks sponsored some dog, and in doing so, it is the 'team dog.' And now it passed away. The Canucks also have a foundation, Canucks for Kids Fund, which supports charities to help children's health and wellness. I love humans too, but wouldn't really want to see postings of the children who pass away just because Canucks sponsored them in some way too. I get it that people love dogs, but to me, there should be some separation between dogs and professional hockey teams. Canucks have gone a bit too dog crazy in recent years, allowing them into suites for games, putting them on the annual Canucks calendar rather than players (which ultimately killed sales and stopped the publication of the calendar), and now the whole 'team dog' thing. It's just a bit too odd for me. Call me cold hearted I guess, but on this forum, I'm more interested in news about the Canucks and their goal of winning a cup, and not so much about the team pets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that is fine, to each their own, but to suggest that the dog died young because it was living in the arena and not being cared for was just plain stupid. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
