Baseball and National Puppy Day 2016

There’s been a lot of sadness lately, from the attacks in Brussels to yesterday’s passing of Joe Garagiola. So it’s ok to seek out a little solace and comfort. Fortunately, yesterday was National Puppy Day. This event was created in 2006 to bring awareness of the atrocities of puppy mills and encourage animal adoption. Naturally, MLB and MiLB took this opportunity to share the cuteness and help promote the cause. I’ve added my favorite posts below. Which one is your favorite?

Happy Thursday!
