Luka Dogčić

Here at Mavs Moneyball dot com we strive to bring you the hard hitting journalism other outlets can’t. That is why we tell you today that Luka Doncic made an Instagram for his Pomeranian Hugo and it is absolutely adorable. He also made an Instagram for his other newly adopted dog Rey but that might have to be another post entirely.

We are here to rank the top 10 posts from Hugo’s Instagram, a very serious task, so lets set up some ground rules or this will get silly fast. Judgments will be handed down based on the following criteria:

Effort by Luka, photography skills, scenery, hugo’s enjoyment, and wow factor which means whatever I say it means. Now let’s get down to business.
