>Having been on the road 14 of 16 days, the Mavericks on Monday returned to their training facility, greeted one by one by the pitter-patter of paws and the precious face of their most faithful follower.
>Her name is Bailey. She is a 23-month-old mini Bernedoodle. She is black and white and hypoallergenic and cuddly all over. She is the NBA’s only trained and registered emotional support dog.
>Mavs’ best friend.
>Bailey doesn’t care that Dallas is coming off a loss to the Clippers. She simply knows Mavericks assistant athletic trainer Heather Mau is her mom and their extended family includes many tall guys, a certain few of whom often offer food.
>“Do I feed Bailey too much? I don’t think so,” guard Josh Green said. “She does a lot for the team. She’s one of our teammates. She’s always there for me, so I bring extra breakfast every morning.”
