The Los Angeles Kings re-signed Tanner Pearson to a four-year, $15 million contract on Tuesday to keep the forward with the team. The re-signing of Pearson was an important off-season move for the club, but it was quickly overshadowed by a more exciting return to the Kings; Emma Pearson.

Emma Pearson is Tanner's four-year-old German Shepherd-Collie mix, and if you're wondering how important the dogs return to the club is, it appears a story of Emma's return was posted on Twitter almost immediately after he signed.

 

 

And when Pearson signed the contract, you better believe Emma was right by his side.

 

 

Emma's story can be seen below:

 

 

Congratulations to both Tanner and Emma on re-signing with the Kings!

 

 

Even though she hates every second of this. Happy 4th bday to this young lady!!
