On his Instagram story, Rippon also shared more details about Tony with fans in a series of posts.

“As you may have seen, we got a dog. … His name is Tony and he’s a rescue,” he began, before he playfully noted, “We are heroes and we know that we saved a life. And there’s nothing Tony can do to repay us for what we’ve done — a selfless act!”

Noting that Tony is “a mutt,” Rippon continued, “We don’t know what kind of dog he is, so, of course, we did a doggy DNA test … and I’m waiting with bated breath to find out what he is.”

Rippon also explained that Tony is his first dog. “This is my first time experimenting in the world of canines,” he said. “And let me tell you, it’s different than I thought, but I’m ready.”

The former Olympian added of Tony: “Honestly, he’s doing really well. He’s super smart. We’ve had him for about a week and we’ve taught him how to sit, how to lay down, how to wait … Yeah, he’s very good!”
