A ridiculously cute puppy found outside a stadium has been adopted – by the team
'It was just meant to be that we’d have a team dog as part of our staff'

A squiggly, downright lovable puppy has been adopted by the Savannah Bananas, a collegiate-baseball league team whose fandom just increased exponentially because, well, look at this sweet little doggie.
Meet Daisy, the newest addition to the Savannah Bananas staff. #RescueDogs https://thesavannahbananas.com/bananas-announce-2016-bat-dog/ …
The seven-week-old puppy was found crying in the parking lot at Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Ga., earlier this week and bore no tags, collar or chip. A staff member picked her up and she was adopted by Jared Orton, the team’s president, and his wife, Kelsey.
Now known as Daisy, she is the official Bat Dog of the Coastal Plain League team.
“It was just meant to be that we’d have a team dog as part of our staff,” Orton told the team’s website. “We took Daisy to the vet and aside from being hungry and dehydrated, she was in pretty good health.”
Daisy comes in to the office every day to help ship out Bananas merchandise and greet visitors dropping by to purchase five-game plans and merchandise.
“We aren’t sure how big she’ll get, so it’s hard to say if she’ll be able to pick up a bat or just coach first base,” Orton told the team’s website, “but as she grows, she’ll be a fixture at the ballpark.”
To which we say, Go Daisy. Go Bananas.
