MIAMI — One dog’s trip to the ballpark wasn’t a home run, but the Miami Marlins made good on the apparent strikeout.
The Marlins hosted Bark at the Park on June 22, but while one dog was able to have a snack, another was left snackless and the meme-worthy moment was caught on camera.
As the MLB called it, “the pure embodiment of disappointment and jealousy.”
The team posted a “wanted” ad on social media showing the downtrodden dog, with the reward being “A dream day at loanDepot park.”
The dog has been found.
MLB.com said that his name is Jonah and is owned by Peter Silveira.
The Marlins have connected with Silveira to make the dream day come true.
As for Silveira and what pushed Jonah into the spotlight, he said, "That was a crazy video. He just stared at it!” Silveira said. “And it’s funny, I was totally oblivious to that whole thing going on.”
Jonah’s story shows that despite a hard start in life, you can become a star, even for a short time.
Silveira said Jonah was born in Aruba and was rescued from a dumpster before finding his forever home, MLB.com reported.
