WASHINGTON —The dog is safe at home, a new home that is. Daisy is a seven-week-old puppy that was discovered alone and crying outside the offices of the Savannah Bananas baseball team and is now a member of the front office.
After being added to the roster, Daisy has become a fixture at Grayson Stadium where she greets visitors who stop by to purchase tickets or merchandise for the Bananas who play in the summer collegiate baseball Coastal Plains League.
Team President Jared Orton and his wife Kelsey adopted Daisy. Daisy had no collar, tags, or microchip when she was found. A trip to a veterinary office revealed aside from being hungry and dehydrated, Daisy was in good health.
“We aren’t sure how big she’ll get, so it’s hard to say if she’ll be able to pick up a bat or just coach first base,” said Orton on the team’s website.
