Air Buddy (Dog)
On April 24, 1992, when Dennis Rodman was playing for the Detroit Pistons against the New York Nicks, he had to grab a fan who rushed the court. This fan happened to be a Golden Retriever named Air Buddy… Yes, as in the basketball-playing dog that played Air Bud in the 1997 film Air Bud. Before his feature film debut, Buddy made appearances on America’s Funniest Home Videos and Late Night with David Letterman to show off his basketball skills. He then went on to perform during NBA halftime shows, which earned him the nickname “Air Buddy”. Buddy lived from March 1988 until February 1998.
