"First family photo," wrote Pischke wrote on Instagram. "This is Halle. 8 week old black lab mix from @wolftrapanimalrescue. Her favorite things are pine cones and digging holes. #furparents #adoptdontshop"

Pischke also posted photos in her Instagram stories of Halle sprawled out, belly up, on a couch and enjoying the outdoors. Despite not having met Halle, NBC Sports Washington is prepared to pronounce her a very good girl.
