NFL Player Gives Away Bulldog Puppy on Twitter

For the second week in a row, a pro athlete used Twitter to give away an English bulldog.

Last week, NBA center Kendrick Perkins put his English bulldog up for sale on Twitter for $1,500, and closed the the deal within an hour. Then on Wednesday, Anthony Davis of the San Francisco 49ers one-upped Perkins by giving a 4-month-old English bulldog pup away for free.

Perkins posted several photos to entice prospective buyers, but Davis kept things short and to the point -- trying things up in about 30 minutes.

Anybody want a 4month old English Bulldog puppy? Free. Just don't be mean to him.— Bam Davis (@AnthonyDavis76) June 25, 2013

You've gotta be in the Bay Area & can pick him up from San Jose today.— Bam Davis (@AnthonyDavis76) June 25, 2013

He found a good home. His new dad is a bad ass.— Bam Davis (@AnthonyDavis76) June 25, 2013

So if you're looking for a new puppy -- especially an English bulldog -- keep an eye on athletes' Twitter handles.
