Rocky - the new DC lottery dog Washington DC "Rocky, a 2-year-old midnight black mix of Lab and border collie, charmed a panel of judges at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Woodley Park with his winsome stare yesterday and was picked to become the mascot for the D.C. Lottery, beating back competition from 22 dogs." Rocky will pose before cameras and appear on posters throughout the city. Rocky, a rescued dog from the Humane Society, has a hard life before his current owners; he was attacked and injured by three dogs and only received medical care when the Humane Society rescued him.[newsisfree.com]
