Watch: "Rookie" The Dog Interrupts Baseball Game. No One's Complaining

A golden retriever happily entered a baseball game and stole the limelight.

It's all fun and games until a dog steals the show. This stunning yet adorable situation was witnessed by the audience at a Minor League Baseball game held in Buffalo, New York. The video of a golden retriever named Rookie is going viral on the Internet for all the right reasons. The game between The Buffalo Bisons and Lehigh Valley IronPigs took an interesting turn because of this canine interruption. Rookie is appointed to fetch bats for the Trenton Thunder. However, the four-legged friend could not contain the excitement for the Buffalo's specially held "Dog Day.” .@BatdogRookie got a little excited during his Sahlen Field debut with the @BuffaloBisons ????We still love him @TrentonThunder. pic.twitter.com/2KJn8OnxNK Cut Rookie some slack, he's usually very good, he just had to show off for all his new friends That doggie did nothing wrong. Clearly he was making sure there were no bats on the mound that the pitcher could have tripped on. I feel confident that @darth will find @BatdogRookie INNOCENT Clearly a mound visit to tell the pitcher to throw strikes! Rookie = Bench/Pitching Coach Rookie, you did NOTHING wrong. I would have done EXACTLY the same thing. GIVE HIM THE BALL!!! Nothing wrong with saying Hi to frens. Good Rookie
