Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani won the American League Most Valuable Player award for the second time in three years. It wasn't a surprise that he won, but he did so in unanimous fashion, being the first player in MLB history to win multiple unanimous MVP awards.

Despite the deserving honor and incredible history, Ohtani wasn't the star of the MLB Network broadcast announcing the award — his dog was.

Ohtani had his adorable dog next to him throughout the broadcast, and the baseball world fell in love.

Ohtani is entering free agency this offseason, and it remains to be seen what happens. Every single team would love the idea of having Ohtani in their uniform, but only a select few are likely to meet the criteria of what he wants.

How big of a say Ohtani's dog has in the decision is yet to be determined, but the baseball world awaits what Ohtani — and his dog — decide to do.

Congratulations to Ohtani on winning this incredible award, and congratulations to his dog for becoming the world's most famous pet.
