"Buck"
Buck is a silver Weimaraner and has been a part of the Bucks organization for more than 4 years. Buck is highly athletic and uses his speed and large body size to gain an advantage when trying to take possession of the puck. He has grown up in a hockey environment, but hates the cold somehow, and prefers to play street hockey over ice hockey. In his spare time, Buck enjoys pointing and chasing birds, and hanging out with his family.
