The Today Show makes a love connection

On March 5, 2010, The Today Show featured Steven Holcomb, a U.S. Olympic bobsledder and gold medalist in the just-concluded 2010 Winter Olympiad in Vancouver. Also on that program was a recently rescued foster dog, Bailey, who was featured on the show's weekly feature on adoptable animals at Animal Care & Control of New York City.

Bailey was one of 40,000 animals that AC&C takes in every year.

It was love at first sight. Steven inquired about the adoption process, committed to the adoption, and on March 25, Bailey arrived in Steven's home city of Denver along with a representative of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, a coalition of more than 160 animal welfare and rescue groups operating in the Big Apple.

Hooray for Steve and Bailey!
