Wrigley is 130 pounds and stands 6’ 3” on his hind legs. And, he has a huge heart to match his giant size.
Wrigley is a goofy Great Dane that loves to burp and bite his mom, pro basketball player, Elena Delle Donne. She likes to rile him up and play, as well as snuggle with him on the couch, even though it’s a tight squeeze for the both of them.
Elena loves her dogs but also loves basketball. She has been playing since she was 4 years old. She played with Team USA and even won a gold medal at the Olympics. Now she plays for the Washington Mystics and has won a WNBA championship.
Her dogs have been by her side throughout her professional career. When she left home and moved to Chicago to play basketball, Wrigley was right there to comfort her. He’s been there for walks, all the ups and downs, during her rookie season, wins and losses, and even there when Amanda proposed.
Wrigley was there for two back surgeries, the big moments, and the letdowns. The faithful big guy has always been there and is now there for Amanda when Elena is on the road playing basketball. Because of his affection for her, Amanda is a little less lonely.
Wrigley also has a doggy friend named Rasta, who is the boss. Even though Wrigley is much bigger, he acts like her rowdy little brother who loves to steal her toys. Just like all little brothers, he likes to bug her but they also love to play.
Wrigley brings love and joy to everyone in his family. He’s the best boy and best friend to all. He’s also silly and sometimes a little extra when he goes crazy barking at the television when he sees another animal.
Wrigley fills the hole that Elena leaves while she’s away playing basketball. Because of him, things are a little less lonely and she has a friend by her side. We hope you enjoyed his adorable video. As always, please feel free to share with your friends.
