DETROIT – Dan Campbell had a priceless reaction to a question after his wife posted a picture of him with his tiny dog.
During a Wednesday briefing, Campbell was caught off guard when someone asked him about his dogs. The question came after his wife, Holly, posted a picture of Campbell in the car with a tiny dog on his lap during a coffee run (click here to see the picture).
“You’re talking about my dogs?” Campbell asked. “Oh no. Oh no. I would rather not answer that. Yeah, I was not expecting that one.
“Look, I like my dogs, alright? That’s probably the best way to say it. I like my dogs. We’ve had some good ones. These are a couple of characters, and they’re totally different.
“But they go with me on coffee runs. That’s probably the best way to say it.”
Campbell said he appreciates that his dogs don’t care whether the Detroit Lions win or lose -- they’re just always happy to see him.
“I think it’s like kids, right?” Campbell said. “When you’ve got little kids, they don’t care what’s going on. I remember my son and my daughter, both of them, when they were young, and you’d come home from a loss, they don’t know any different. They’re just happy to see you.
“They don’t know the outside world. They don’t know the stress, the pressure, and you appreciate that. Dogs are the same way, right? They just love you. They love you for what you are and they don’t have bad days, so that’s pretty cool.”
Campbell isn’t having many bad days, either. His Lions have won eight in a row, are tied for the best record in the NFL at 9-1, and have the top odds to win the Super Bowl.
