A very good dog caught a home run ball at a Dodgers spring training game

During a Saturday spring training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals, a home run turned into a game of fetch for one lucky dog.

As Dodgers second baseman Michael Busch hammered one over the wall in Los Angeles’ preseason finale, the ball hopped over just enough to where a dog in the crowd caught it with his mouth and proudly gave it to his owner.

The world needs more dogs that are able to catch home run baseballs, and it was delightful to see everyone in the crowd cheer on the dog as he retrieved the ball for his owner, who sported a K-9 Dodgers jersey.

Spring training may not have actual stakes for the regular season, but if a dog can catch a baseball, it’s still worthwhile for the folks in the stands.

Someone make sure that dog gets to keep the baseball and is given plenty of treats for his very good fetching.
