A rare breed steals the show
- Shohei Ohtani’s dog, Decoy, steals the spotlight
- Decoy is a rare breed called Nederlandse Kooikerhondje
- Kooiker owners in the U.S. are a passionate but insular group
When Shohei Ohtani, the most famous baseball player in the world, appeared on screen with his dog, Decoy, during the Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award announcement, it was the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje that caught everyone’s attention. This rare breed, known for its beauty and charm, has a dedicated following of passionate but insular owners in the U.S. While Ohtani’s MVP designation was impressive, it was Decoy who stole the show and became the star of the night.
