Murphy (right) makes friends with golden retriever puppy J.B. as the two canines prepare to march through downtown Atlanta in the Chick-fil-A Bowl parade on Wednesday. Murphy was proclaimed an honorary golden retriever so he could march with the Golden Retriever Rescue Group after he was found badly beaten, allegedly by his former owner, and rescued by Robert Kennedy, who currently owns the dog.
