Ohtani's dog Decoy wows fans during emotional reunion

Shohei Ohtani had a memorable homecoming after his team swept the Tokyo Series. While his performance on the field was impressive, the most heartwarming moment happened off the field. Ohtani was excited to reunite with his dog, Decoy, who gave him an adorable welcome. After several days away, Ohtani shared the joyful moment on his Instagram story. Decoy, a Kooikerhondje, greeted him with enthusiasm. This touching reunion quickly became popular on social media, showing how strong the bond between Ohtani and his dog truly is. Decoy first caught public attention when Ohtani won his second AL MVP Award in 2023. Ohtani explained that Decoy's original name was Dekopin, but he chose "Decoy" to make it easier for fans. Since then, Decoy has become an important part of Ohtani's life and even had a special night at a game, where he received a bobblehead and participated in a ceremonial first pitch. While Ohtani continues to impress as a baseball player, Decoy has gained his own following. With his charm and loyalty, Decoy is more than just a pet—he's become a little star himself. The bond they share reminds fans that even famous athletes value love and companionship in their lives. After a tough series, Ohtani's best reward was the warm welcome from Decoy. As fans celebrate Ohtani, they also seem to adore Decoy, who might just be the most popular dog in baseball.
