In the original Rocky movie, Butkus was a dog that was given to Rocky by Adrian as a Christmas gift to keep him company while training for his Heavyweight Championship match against Apollo Creed. In Rocky II, Butkus appeared again as Rocky's pet dog. Rocky described Butkus as having a different look than an average dog as though he is special in some way.
For any fan of the classic franchise starring Sylvester Stallone, this Butkus and Rocky T-Shirt is a must have!
