Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers have fought their way to the top of the MLB. After only one season with his new club, the Japanese superstar is now a World Series champion, potentially adding a third MVP Award to his cabinet. Needless to say, the high-profile move to the Dodgers has paid off in more ways than one.
Thanks to his two-way abilities, the fact he is playing for one of the most famous MLB teams in the world, and his global impact, it's safe to call Shohei Ohtani a genuine sporting superstar. That being said, one family member is quickly catching him in popularity: his beloved dog, Decoy.

Decoy, a stunning Dutch Kooikerhondje, has seen his star grow after Ohtani made a move to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In true celebrity fashion, Decoy would not miss the opportunity to say hi to his fans. The beloved pup stole the show during the LA Dodgers's World Series parade on Friday afternoon.
As thousands of Dodgers fans crowded the streets, Decoy and Shohei cruised by on the team buses. It was a special moment for the player, puppy, and fans who witnessed the historic moment for the franchise.
It is a major moment for the Los Angeles Dodgers fans, given that the 2020 World Series parade was unable to run because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With tens of thousands of fans in attendance, it's safe to say that Decoy might be the most famous dog in the world right now.
Shohei Ohtani and Decoy are no strangers to viral moments
Even though Ohtani is likely about to add his third MVP Award of this career, some of his most viral moments have come with Decoy by his side. His beloved dogs first became an internet celebrity last offseason as Ohtani was eyeing his future. Once his 10-year, $700,000,000 deal with the LA Dodgers was announced, Ohtani and Decoy became fan favorites among the fans.
Throughout the year, Ohtani and Decoy enjoyed several heartwarming moments, including the ceremonial first pitch delivered by Decoy himself. The pair also had a special bobblehead giveaway for fans. While Shohei Ohtani might be big, Decoy might be bigger.
