    Amanda Balionis reveals her 'obsession' as she shares sneak peek of her private photo album

    Amanda Balionis has offered a rare insight into her personal life by sharing a snippet of her photo album online. The 39-year-old is a familiar face in sports broadcasting but she harbours another passion - animals.

    Balionis, who has been a CBS football and golf commentator since 2017, has long been vocal about her love of dogs. She regularly shares snaps of her pooches with her 322k followers on Instagram and has been upfront about how much space they occupy on her grid by writing in her bio that " there is very little that sports and dogs can't fix ".

    As President of Puppies and Golf, which was founded in 2020 to protect dogs in need, Balionis can easily combine her love of dogs and golf. Her camera roll reveals her obsession , though - she has more than 4,000 images of them.

    "Can anyone beat the number of dog photos I have in my library?" Balionis wrote on her Instagram story on Monday followed by a laughing face. Accompanying the caption was a screenshot of the sports enthusiast's album , where she had 4,758 photos under "dogs," including a whopping 630 under "hound dogs" alongside other breeds.

    Balionis put up the sweet snap to mark National Dog Day. The post comes not long after Balionis' charity Puppies and Golf got a cute nod from Rory McIlroy and his four-legged pal Cuddles at this year's Zurich Classic.

    Before hitting the links at TPC Louisiana in April, McIlroy gave a plug for Puppies and Golf with an older dog looking for a new family . "Hi everyone, I'm Rory McIlroy and this is Cuddles," he said.

    "Cuddles is w aiting to be adopted and find her forever home . So, if you feel so inclined, if you want to adopt her, I guess click the link and you'll know where to find her."
