Let’s be honest, no one can resist a Golden Retriever. Whether you’ve had Goldens all your life or just met the Golden who crashed your park meetup with friends, there’s no way their sweet smiles and even sweeter personalities won’t melt your heart. Just ask Mariner Moose!
This adorable moose character is best known for being the mascot of the MLB’s Seattle Mariners, but for dogs like Dash the Golden Retriever, he’s also the giver of the most epic belly rubs. The Mariners hosted the final Bark in the Park night (AKA, a dog-friendly game) on September 25, and Dash made sure to take advantage of the best belly rubs in the league.
Naturally, Mariner Moose was more than happy to comply!
I can feel their joy through the screen! Everyone is loving this adorable interaction, and it’s easy to see why. Dash is in absolute heaven with his paws up in the air, and it’s not every day you get to see a moose petting a dog.
I can completely relate to the women in the background who dropped everything to watch this sweet moment unfold. If I were there, that’s what I would be doing, too!
The only one watching who may not be thrilled about the situation is the other dog. Just as @theactivelife guessed, he’s probably asking “does the line start here?” With belly rubs like this, every dog in the ballpark would be getting in line!
My favorite comment came from another baseball fan who tagged her favorite team, writing, “This could be us.” LOL!
Bark in the Park
The more that I think about it, the commenter is right; this could be anyone’s dog enjoying a belly rub from their favorite team’s mascot! Bark in the Park has become a beloved baseball tradition since it began with the Texas Rangers in 2016, though it still isn’t a league-wide theme night.
Why not? Dogs deserve to experience the fun of sports games, too, which is why I’ll always bring my boys to my local hockey team’s Pucks and Paws night. It’s so much fun seeing so many dogs in one place, and the pups get so many treats like hot dogs, toys, and amazing belly rubs!
