In the recent Los Angeles Dodger's spring training game, a rather quirky creature managed to get everyone's attention

This was none other than a lovely canine who was there on the stands watching the training session with his owner

During the game, Michael Busch, Dodgers prospective player, sent a ball flying towards where the dog was sited at

And given its natural prey instinct, the pooch jumped to action, catching the ball within its mouth, before anyone else could grab the ball

[{"selector":"#anim-0608a17f-d9c9-427b-a711-83a9058eadb2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6480ae4b-b576-45b2-baca-68417564857a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

This led to a huge round of ap-paws amongst the crowd as such instances are not a regular thing

[{"selector":"#anim-56b7ed8b-0afd-430a-83ed-f17505289720","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd7a2e3c-6b1d-4159-9a4c-48ec262128fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.08458%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

The scene which unfolded during the seventh inning of the spring training game definitely made the match much more exciting and a memorable one for everyone who was there

[{"selector":"#anim-f1d7f89e-713b-49ed-8be8-0ab1ba68aac4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-443029e0-5448-40a8-bdbd-f2e67f825914","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.38670%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

Even the players were stuck in awe at this rather unique thing and we as pawrents do understand why's that

[{"selector":"#anim-f437e1be-46a6-44bd-a380-368e09734c44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06810c41-5478-450e-ad2f-141ca16ee067","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.08458%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Image source: Unsplash Image source: Unsplash spanieldogs.com spanieldogs.com

We hope the dog was happy with his special win and that his owner would have treated with some delicious puppuccino that day
