MILWAUKEE - No double switch here: the Milwaukee Brewers say it's still the same Hank the dog.
The Brewers confirmed on Friday that the team's furry, four-legged mascot is the same bichon frise mix that walked on to the team's spring training complex in Phoenix two years ago.
The team knew all along it was the same dog, but decided to have fun with the story for a few days as a way to promote the Wisconsin Humane Society.
