There has been some recent scuttlebutt concerning the identity of the Brewers cute little dog, Hank. Two years ago a mangy dog walked into Brewers training camp and was quickly adored by the internet. The team later adopted him and named him Hank and he's been a sort of mascot ever since. Since then, there's been some concern that Hank was not really Hank. Over the years, his appearance changed and a few days ago, Brew Crew Ball, a Brewers site on SB Nation, made the case that Hank actually died some time in 2014, and had been replaced by an imposter Hank.Here it is, the un-smoking gun. Proof of Hank the Dog's true identity. #HankTheDog #Brewers #DogPressConference pic.twitter.com/QcgerhyrD6

Today the Brewers put that notion to bed with a press conference where they presented a notarized statement from a veterinarian who scanned the microchip in the current Hank, confirming he was the same Hank.Let's just acknowledge its a different dog and move on pic.twitter.com/q93Mdtg7JN
