Washington Nationals’ pitcher Blake Treinen lives in Washington state during the offseason. That means when it comes time for spring training, he has to pack up his life and head all the way cross country to Florida. Everyone knows that when it comes time for adventure, it’s always way more fun with man’s best friend as your copilot.

On Super Bowl Sunday, Treinen fired up his pickup truck, grabbed his English Bulldog, Maxx, and hit the open road. Traveling with a Bulldog tends to have its quieter moments — when Maxx naps, he really naps. Treinen tries to roll him, flick his legs, and bounce him but he doesn’t budge, just like a typical
Bulldog
. He really enjoys his snorefests!

Poor Maxx is a momma’s boy (but he says not to tell anyone!) so when he’s on the road with Treinen, he sometimes won’t eat for a few days because he’s so attached to Treinen’s wife, Katie. When the hunger really hits though, Maxx opens up those big Bulldog eyes as wide as he can and gets plenty of scraps, from Washington to Florida and everywhere in between!
