Clearwater Threshers Bat Canine Retires And Receives The Sweetest Farewell

“She has simply more or less been in my proper pocket for 13 years,” Layla’s dad, Andrew Davis, tells FOX 13.

Davis followed Layla 13 years in the past. And he by no means imagined the issues her pooch would’ve completed in all the ones years.

Again in 2018, Layla become an web sensation after a video of her retrieving a can of beer from the fridge went viral.

And who would’ve idea that that viral video would in truth be Layla’s price ticket to turning into a baseball bat canine?

“As soon as it took off there was once no preventing it,” Davis stated. “I by no means would’ve anticipated to have a well-known canine.”

WMNF Radio unearths that once the video went viral, Davis reached out to Dominic Repper, Threshers supervisor of promotions and recreation leisure, and confirmed him the video.

“After we first contacted the Threshers, Layla didn’t even know what a baseball bat was once,” Davis tells WMNF Radio.

So, Davis took Layla to native baseball fields and taught her how to select up a bat and convey it to the dugout.

Layla, who used to coach along athletes at Webber World College when Davis was once a pupil on the college, mastered the artwork of retrieving baseball bats and were given signed to the Clearwater Threshers.

Then again, after being at the process for 6 years, Davis spotted that Layla was once beginning to decelerate throughout video games.

Davis advised FOX 13, “I advised them (the Threshers), ‘I don’t know if Layla goes to be as much as the problem subsequent yr.’”
