Even dogs love ’Cats

Kentucky coach John Calipari thought he had seen it all, then he received fan mail from a dog. Calipari said Friday the letter arrived complete with a paw print “signature.” “You think about it, this is a unique place. I have dogs sending me letters and they put their paw prints on it and their picture,” Calipari said. “I have 95-year-old ladies in nursing homes asking what I’m doing about our free-throw shooting, do you practice it? I’ve got accountants cussing me up and down. It’s a different deal here. You can’t hide. I can’t hide. My players can’t hide.” The coach of the top-ranked Wildcats said the canine correspondence ranks among the most unique things he’s received. But it was somewhat fitting as Kentucky’s defense has been doggone good.
