Shohei Ohtani’s dog enjoyed the Dodgers’ World Series celebration just as much as the superstar did.
The pup, named Decoy, wore a Dodgers jersey during the revelry and was seen waving to fans from the team’s parade bus, with the help of Ohtani, of course.

Decoy is a Dutch Kooikerhondje and was held by Ohtani for much of the event at Dodger Stadium.
The dog made headlines last fall when he high-fived Ohtani on a live feed during the AL MVP announcement.
After weeks of questions about what the furry friend’s name was, Ohtani, after he signed a $700 million deal with the Dodgers, revealed the name was Decoy.
The Dodgers were celebrating their first World Series title since 2020, which is their second since winning the 1988 crown.
The Dodgers beat the Yankees in five games, taking the first three contests of the series before falling in Game 4.
But, of course, their epic Game 5 comeback sealed the series after the Yankees fell apart in disastrous fashion in the fifth inning.

In the World Series, Ohtani only recorded two hits in 19 at bats, hitting .105 for the series and a .385 OPS.
In the NLCS, he was much more effective, hitting .364 against the Mets, going 8-for-22, with two home runs and 6 RBIs.
