Ballpark Dogs

August 26th is National Dog Day, which serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. In celebration of this "unofficial" national holiday founded in 2004, here are dogs attending Major League Baseball games in 2015.
