Three dogs at the San Diego Humane Society have been renamed after three UConn Huskies players because of a wager between staff of the Connecticut Humane Society and their counterparts in California about the outcome of the NCAA finals.
The wager was that the losing team would have to name three pets after three players on the winning team and the Humane Society with the winning team would choose the names.
As Huskies fans know, UConn defeated the San Diego State Aztecs Monday night in the championship game.
The pups were named for three UConn Huskies whose hometowns are right here in Connecticut.
