This Father's Day, take time out to celebrate some of baseball's premier dog dads
Father's Day is pretty much exclusively reserved to celebrate the relationship between humans -- father and son or daughter. Without dads, none of us would be here, and so on.
But what about the dog dads? A number of baseball players are quick to share their "children" on social media frequently, and it makes for a great alternative way to think about Father's Day. So, with that in mind, here's a selection of some of the best dog dads in the game today.

This only scratches the surface on baseball dog dads, of course, but it's a pretty good start. Happy Father's Day to all dads -- human dads, dog dads, cat dads, fish dads, and all general pet dads!
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
