Millions of people will be watching as Cousins leads the
Redskins in their playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Among the
adoring fans who will be tuning in will be a three ½-year-old wheaten terrier
mix.
The dog named Gracie by her new adoptive parents was one of
many pets cared for as a foster animal by Cousins and his wife, Julie. She
stayed with them for the entire 2014 NFL season.
The Cousins regularly foster dogs whose lives would have
been in jeopardy had they been left in shelters. Cousins often posts about the pets on social media and his wife sent FOX 5 photos of Gracie, saying in
particular that she was a very tough pup to part with.
