Dogs and hockey go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Whether it be dogs playing hockey or hockey players and their dogs, there's just something about the combo that fans love.

 

Speaking of players and dogs, Jacob Trouba of the Winnipeg Jets has an adorable dog he clearly loves him very much.

 

 

Happy 1st Birthday Donnie!!!

Friday, Trouba wanted to see if his dog liked another Jet, Mark Scheifele, or his bobblehead at least, and it looks like he does to say the least.

 

 

I think he has a new favorite @mscheif

Safe to say Trouba's dog and Scheifele are close friends after that encounter, which makes sense since the two players are close friends, too.

 

 

Join @mscheif and I tonight at 7 as we join @rwballet!! #nutcracker

My New Years resolution is to get this dog to listen to me. #merrychristmas
