Whitney Shankland is a North Carolina fan who, according to her twitter bio, lives in Raleigh.
Whitney named her dog after UNC head coach Roy Williams. Roy, the dog, passed away recently, and Roy, the coach, found out about it.
So the coach sent the fan a condolence letter about the dog:
Roy Williams models the #carolinaway. I can't imagine naming my dog after a more perfect man. #goheelsgoamerica #gdtbath #tarheelfamily pic.twitter.com/fkUVlI6JS5

Anyone who has lost a pet knows that it’s not an easy thing to deal with, but I’m sure that Whitney needed the pick-me-up.
