Angel Reese is one of the fastest-rising basketball stars in the WNBA. As a rookie, Reese has continued to impact the game on the court and off of it as well, through her social media activity. Her journey started with her stellar play in college, playing for Maryland and LSU.
During her time at LSU, she also discovered a love for dogs as she welcomed Tiago to her life in September 2023. The dog has been enjoying a lavish lifestyle under her owner, Reese. This was on full display when Angel Reese posted an Instagram story of Tiago peeping from a Loius Vuitton bag with a special first birthday trim.
Tiago was seen sitting in the Louis Vuitton bag, while he seemed to enjoy a drive with Reese in the front seat of their car.
The dog celebrated his first birthday two days ago. Tiago even has his own social media page, where his birthday announcement was made.
“I’m finally 1 years old!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!” the dog announced as an IG post.
Reese commented on the post, acknowledging her pup’s birthday and declaring her love for the dog.
“Happy birthday son! I love youuu,” the fur parent wrote.
Angel Reese found Tiago in his previous home at the Lovelac Kennel Club. She introduced the dog to the world by making him his own IG handle and a post that saw the pup wearing an LSU jersey.
Reese’s dog’s IG account has 12 posts and about 12k followers so far. The handle only follows three accounts, namely the dog mascot of “Raising Canes”, Reese’s brother’s dog, and Angel Reese’s personal account.
When she was not with her team, Reese's stories constantly show her getaways with her dog.
