MILTON, Ga. -- 11Alive's morning show mascot made his national debut Tuesday on the 'TODAY' show.
Pirelli is pretty deserving of all the attention.
The pup was born without a foot but with a calling at Canine Assistants, a Milton-based nonprofit that trains and provides service dogs for the disabled.
