This pup is more than just a loyal companion – he’s also a baseball fanatic!
During a spring training game between the Kansas City Royals and the Los Angeles Dodgers, one K-9-trained dog had a catch of a lifetime.
As Dodgers prospect Michael Busch hit a home run over the left-field wall, fans scrambled to get their hands on the ball. But this clever dog knew exactly what to do.
With impressive timing, the pooch waited for the ball to bounce his way and then snatched it up between his jaws, refusing to let go.

It wasn’t until the dog’s owner, wearing a Dodgers K-9 jersey, petted him on the head that he finally gave up the ball.
This isn’t the first time a dog has shown off his ball-catching skills – in fact, back in 2022, another pup caught a home run ball during a New York Mets game and happily gnawed on it.

Looks like these dogs know a thing or two about being a true baseball fan!
