Now this is how you win the Olympics -- or at least our hearts.
Team USA skier Gus Kenworthy is spending his free time in Sochi rounding up adorable stray puppies in hopes of keeping them safe. Olympics officials were outed before the games for killing stray dogs there in an attempt to maintain a clean image.

The 22-year-old animal lover said he hopes to send the five dogs -- one mom and four puppies that took up residence in the Olympics' mountain village -- to the U.S. Kenworthy plans to adopt just one of the cuddly fellows, but his family members have reportedly already started calling dibs on the other dogs.
Kenworthy will also take silver medal home for men's ski slopestyle, but you can't really cuddle that.
Also, for the people wondering, I've lined up kennels 4 the pups & made vaccination appointments. Doing all I can to bring them home w/ me!— Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) February 12, 2014
Gus Kenworthy, you may be a silver medalist, but you've got a heart of gold.
