Shannon Sharpe Is A Huge Dog Lover

It’s no secret that Shannon Sharpe is a big dog lover. He is known to spend shocking amounts on his pets and claims to prioritize his relationships with them over relationships with women.

Speaking on his ‘Nightcap’ podcast last year, Sharpe claimed he wouldn’t be with any woman who doesn’t accept his pets.

“If you got a problem with the dogs, let me know now, we can’t do anything,” he said. “I don’t care how fine you are, I don’t care how much money you make. Dogs ain’t going nowhere.”

Losing his favorite one couldn’t have been easy. Our thoughts are with Shannon during this difficult time.
