Aaron Judge Celebrates Canine Companions’ Birthdays at Yankee Stadium
Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees’ star outfielder, is known for his impressive skills on the field, but his heart belongs not only to the game but also to his two beloved dogs, Gus and Penny. In a delightful Instagram story, Judge shared a glimpse of a special birthday celebration for Gus, affectionately dubbed the “Gus Bus.” The centerpiece of the celebration was a cake adorned with the message, “Happy Birthday Gus Bus,” eliciting pure joy from the birthday pup, while Penny, his playful counterpart, could be seen in the background eyeing the cake with a purple toy in tow.
A Day at the Stadium
Though the exact ages of Gus and Penny remain a mystery, they appear to be just a few years old, with Gus making his presence known on the field at Yankee Stadium earlier this season. The sight of him running alongside his famous owner undoubtedly brings smiles to fans and players alike. The bond between Judge and his dogs is evident, showcasing not just a love for baseball but also for the furry companions that add joy to his life.
Puppy Love Goes Beyond the Field
Gus and Penny have captured the hearts of Yankees fans, becoming local celebrities in their own right. This year, they even have their own official plush toys available at the Yankee Stadium Team Store. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to a charity dedicated to helping dogs, further cementing the duo’s status as beloved figures in the community.
“Gus and Penny Judge plush toys available now in the Yankee Stadium Team Store by Section 119!” the team announced, highlighting the special connection between the players and their furry friends.
As fans celebrate the joy that both Judge and his dogs bring, it’s clear that the spirit of community and love for animals runs deep in the heart of the Yankees organization. Whether on the field or celebrating special moments off it, Aaron Judge continues to show that his heart is as big as his home runs.
