Lane Kiffin’s very good dog Juice retrieved the kickoff tee during Ole Miss’ home opener

Juice Kiffin the dog is a very, very good boy.

On a day full of outstanding football plays, none stood out more than a very good boy going to retrieve a kickoff tee during Ole Miss’ 73-7 home victory against Mercer on Saturday.

Yes, it would be Juice Kiffin the yellow Labrador Retriever, a wonderful dog that just so happens to belong to Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, that retrieved the tee at midfield and brought it back to the sideline like the bestest boy he is.

This is the kind of performance that should get him in pads and on the field like Buddy the dog in the film Air Bud: Golden Receiver, where the dog gets to play little league football with humans because why not.

To make this even cooler, Juice Kiffin comes from the prestigious Wildrose Kennels in Mississippi, which makes the good boy very adept to retrieve things.

This is A+ dog fetching, and hopefully Juice Kiffin got plenty of cookies on the sideline for being such an amazingly good boy.

Like, seriously, what a great dog. Good Juice! Good Juice!

Juice Kiffin is a perfect dog, even if he’s eating Tim Tebow’s mic

Juice Kiffin is still the best boy.

Bringing a live animal into anything is a risk, especially when live television is involved. The chances of the creature doing something unexpected is high, as we saw with the almost disastrous meeting between Texas mascot Bevo — a 1,700-pound steer — and Georgia’s bulldog Uga back in 2019.

Dogs have been involved in college athletics for ages as live mascots like Jonathan the Husky (UConn), Reveille (Texas A&M) and the road-tripping Blue IV (Butler) have warmed our hearts while service dogs like Hudson (ODU) and Champ (UVA) roam the sidelines.

The thing is, when you bring a rambunctious puppy into the mix, things can go hilariously and very adorably wrong. Tim Tebow and the SEC pregame show learned that on Saturday morning as Juice Kiffin — the precious puppy of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin — helped himself to a tasty treat in the form of Tebow’s mic.

Perfect form by Juice. Let them think you’re just being sweet and giving out kisses when really your plan all along was to eat something forbidden.

Lane Kiffin’s dog’s 20 best Twitter moments in honor of National Dog Day

WHAT A GOOD DOG.

While the list of National or International [Insert A Beloved Person Or Thing Here] Days seem to be on a never-ending rise, sometimes, those days can be good fun, like when it’s International Beer Day, National Hot Dog Day or National Donut Day.

Well, according to the internet, Friday is apparently National Dog Day — a thing that has its own Twitter account and everything — and there are so many good dogs in sports. Whether they’re the main focus, purposeful sports attendees or just along for the ride, most people would probably agree that sports are better with dogs.

College football has tons of them, especially in the SEC, like the Georgia bulldog or Texas A&M’s Reveille.

But for National Dog Day in 2022, we’re celebrating one canine in particular: Juice Kiffin, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s adorable pup who also has his own Twitter account, which launched in June. And thankfully, that means some of Juice’s most precious moments are available for everyone to enjoy.

So in honor of this totally made-up internet holiday, here are 20 of our favorite Juice Kiffin moments on Twitter.
