When you head to a ballgame, you expect peanuts, home runs, and maybe even a dramatic ninth inning. What you don’t usually expect is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stealing the show before the first pitch. But that’s exactly what happened when Whiskey, a fluffy red-coated Toller, stepped onto the field. With her exceptional skills, she turned a regular game day into her own star moment. This breed is built for action, and Whiskey’s love for catching and retrieving made her the perfect guest of honor.
Dog becomes the star after successfully throwing the ‘first pitch’ at baseball game in video
The clip opens with Whiskey at the railing of the stadium, looking out at the sea of fans. On-screen text reads, “My dog thinks everyone in the stadium is here to see her…” and from the way she glances back at her mom, she clearly believes it. Soon, there is a montage of Whiskey’s jaw-dropping ball-catching skills — leaping, twisting mid-air, even using her mom’s back as a launch pad. The text adds, “I know she is a star, and that she is so talented.”
Then comes the big reveal: Whiskey’s mom shares that her dream was to let Whiskey shine in front of a crowd. Thanks to the Louisville Bats, Whiskey got to “throw” the first pitch. Carrying the baseball in her mouth, she trotted toward the mascot. There was a brief distraction (classic dog moment), but with her mom’s encouragement, she proudly delivered the ball. The crowd erupted, commentators praised her, and the applause proved Whiskey’s star power.
The video wraps with sweet photos — Whiskey kissing the mascot, posing with a bat, and cuddling with her mom. As the text sums up: “I’ve always known she was a star, but maybe now everyone else knows too.” The comments show how much people loved the video. One viewer said, “I’d definitely go just to see her!” Another added, “Such a beautiful princess.” 4.7K likes later, fans agree: Whiskey wasn’t just part of the game, she was the highlight.
