Send love to U.S. bobsled official Amanda Bird for adopting Sochi's stray

Amanda Bird, a spokeswoman for the American bobsled and skeleton team 

at the Sochi Winter Games, will be bringing home a stray puppy 

from a dog shelter in the Russian city after the adoption was approved. 

Bird, who was a competitive bobsled and skeleton athlete for more than 10 years, 

visited a shelter earlier this week and will bring a home a pup, she said by text message today. 

She plans to name the dog “Sochi” after the Black Sea resort town hosting Russia’s first Winter Olympics. 

Hopefully this adoption trend will continue on.
