VetDog Charlie drops puck on Islanders' Military Appreciation Night

It was just like a regular ceremonial puck drop, only cuter.
Charlie, a black labrador retriever currently training with
America's VetDogs
, dropped the biscuit at the Barclays Center before the New York Islanders hosted the Carolina Hurricanes.

VetDogs is a program that provides trained service dogs to United States military veterans who could use a little extra help in day-to-day life. There are dogs specifically trained for veterans who are vision-impaired, hearing-impaired or those who may be suffering from post-traumatic streess disorder.
Charlie was joined by his trainers and two Army veterans from Fort Bragg, along with Islanders captain John Tavares and Hurricanes co-captain Justin Faulk.
During the second intermission, Olivia Poff and Allison Storck from America's VetDogs appeared with Charlie on MSG Network. The Smithtown, N.Y.,-based charity provides the highly trained dogs to veterans free of charge.
Poff said Charlie will be paired with a veteran in two weeks.
