Klay Thompson Honors His Beloved Dog Rocco — The “Great Dynasty Dog” Who Stood by Him Through Every Championship, Comeback, and Heartbreak for 13 Years, Gets a Heartfelt Farewell from the Warriors Legend……

When Klay Thompson first brought home a tiny, energetic English bulldog puppy in 2011, he had no idea that Rocco would become as much a part of the Golden State Warriors family as any player or coach. Over the next thirteen years, Rocco was more than just a pet — he was Klay’s loyal companion, emotional anchor, and, in many ways, the team’s unofficial mascot.

A Constant Presence Through Triumph and Adversity

From the Warriors’ record-breaking 73-win season to the unforgettable championship runs, Rocco was always there, his jowly face and wagging tail a familiar sight at practices, team events, and even postgame interviews. When Klay hit 37 points in a single quarter, Rocco was waiting at home, ready to celebrate with a quiet walk along the bay. When injuries sidelined Klay for two grueling years, it was Rocco who never left his side, offering comfort during the darkest nights and motivation on the slow mornings of rehab.

Teammates and coaches grew to love Rocco too. He became a fixture at the Warriors facility, trotting alongside Klay through the halls, often receiving as many fist bumps and head scratches as his famous owner. “He’s the real dynasty dog,” joked Draymond Green after the team’s 2018 championship parade, as Rocco rode in the back of Klay’s convertible, soaking in the cheers of Dub Nation.

More Than a Mascot — A Best Friend

To Klay, Rocco was more than a symbol of good luck or a social media star. He was a best friend who never cared about points or trophies, only about being together. “He’s been with me through everything,” Klay once said. “The wins, the losses, the surgeries, the comebacks… He’s just always there. No judgment, no expectations. Just love.”
