McGruff!!! :)
Yes, it's Crime Dog McGruff.
Which reminds me of two things: first, Fred McGriff, the former Braves and Blue Jays first baseman who was known as "Crime Dog." And of course, my brother's late, great dog, also named McGriff. (sniff, sniff)
McGruff it is!
Kim, nice work! Did you ever get to meet McGruff in person as a kid???
JD, very interesting tidbit! I wonder who started calling McGriff that!
