There is a lot of love when it comes to the Minnesota Vikings.  They have a large, loyal fan base and some of the most interesting players on social media.  That said, it’s not too often that we get a look into what the players themselves love.

When it comes to love, loyalty and devotion, many folks don’t need to look much further than their own housepets.  Some people prefer cats or fish, but it seems as though the most popular pet when it comes to Minnesota Vikings players is the dog.

Here is a quick look at some of the players’ pooches.  See if you can guess which dog corresponds to which Vikings player:

This dog belongs to second year Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd.  The pup’s name is Stitch.  You can see more from Floyd and Stitch at Sharrif’s Twitter account.

  • If you guessed this dog likes to cuddle with Shaun Prater, you would be correct!  I guess now we know why his nickname is “Pitbull”.  Shaun’s Instagram account is a great way to see more of them both.
  • These pups might be eating the premium dog food now that their owner has signed a big extension.  When Kyle Rudolph comes home, he has these two adorable dogs waiting for him.  Check out Mr. Rudolph’s Twitter account for more.
  • The two playful dogs are very familiar with the outdoors.  Their owner, John Sullivan, loves to fish, hunt, camp and almost anything to do with the outdoors.  You can see more pics of these pups on Sullivan’s Twitter account.
  • The final canine in the list is an adorable pup that loves to go for walks.  That shouldn’t be a surprise, since the dog’s owner is known for using his legs as well.  Blair Walsh loves coming home to this happy pup. and you can see photos like this on Walsh’s Twitter account.
