Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and his dog, Decoy, both received honors recently. While Ohtani accepted his fourth MVP award in five years, his beloved kooikerhondje, Decoy, was named the National League Most Valuable Dog at the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) Awards Dinner in New York.
Decoy, already a fan favorite, has amassed several unique honors, including a bobblehead and throwing a ceremonial first pitch at a Dodgers game in 2024. He was also present during Ohtani's World Series celebrations and when Ohtani learned of his MVP win.
Ohtani's own MVP award was a unanimous decision, marking his remarkable achievement in baseball. His return to the mound following elbow surgery in 2024 saw him lead the Dodgers to a consecutive World Series title.
