This dog is the embodiment of doing what you love for life.

@BriBri Official depends what u call intelligent . Dogs have masters, cats have slaves 😅

[@NehnBellanaris]

@@yaniswashington8828 If you want to be a slave to your cat, that's fine by me. With me, and my cats, we're partners.

I had a black Labrador 15 years till the day he flew to the sky with his own angel 😇. And he will be in my heart forever. Be happy forever sweet Labrador

[@krististarosta6736]

I’m sorry for your loss, but I’m happy that you know that your Lab will always be close to you in your heart.

[@dorientjewoller113]

@Kitty Cat 🐱 Issue with that. We humans are the only ones who have religions ... we don't know if the other animals have any religion at all. So, don't put any kind of faith/religion/believes on animals. They, animals, especially pets are going in our hearts, and if that is heaven for them, that's fine for me.

[@dickdastardly107]

I live 20 mins from the bulls stadium and I never knew they had a bat dog. Awesome!

[@khaotikchiraq1148]

Makes 2 of us

[@piersnivans5983]

He's doing so good!

[@bamboozled1668]

Wonder if, as a spectator up in the stands, Ripken feels the urge to go retrieve the bats 😂

[@linhmukbang]

Labrador cute ever 😘

[@donnamead3439]

Such a sweet, good, boi.

[@Rebel_riot151]

This is why I love dogs! They're so happy for the simplest things in life they can be involved in from grabbing balls to sharing that strange joy us humans have when coming across a random stick on the ground. Their smiles are so contagious and I love it

[@nancyv4431]

Awesome video! I love baseball & dogs. What a perfect combo! ⚾️🐾

OMG, this is the cutest thing! I love this story! I hope Ripken has a long and happy life with his owner and his baseball players! ❤❤❤

[@gopugmama4408]

We are a baseball family. My boys played baseball up to Varsity in High School, but we never had a "bat dog." No fair!! This is just so COOL on so many levels. Plus, he's a great friend to the players and to the fans! My son has a black lab named "Lucy" and she is a hoot. She's our 80 lb. bull in a china shop, lol!🤣 If I went to a game, I'd probably be there for Ripkin more than to watch the game. Such a sweetheart!😁💖

[@MrDoodlebug68018]

Ripkin is an amazing dog and part of your family on & off the ball field! 💙

[@aistejanusauskaite4117]

What a beautiful relationship between Michael and Ripken, and baseball too, that just took them into the stratosphere,lol. Thanks for sharing, you both are so lucky!

You know 75% of the crowd is there for the dog right? Lol so freaking adorable 🥰

[@No_Name6716]

I love how outraged the crowd gets when someone else picks up the bat.

There is no greater love than the love of a good dog.

These videos are the best when I’m sad or depressed. Always makes me smile and puts me in a better mood. I can watch these all day.

[@voyaristika5673]

What a life! Ripken found his Heaven on earth, and he's so lovable. You'll have many glorious years to share.

[@roxanneswanson8305]

Aren't Labrador retrievers just the best? Ripken looks like he's everything you want the breed to embody. Lucky dog & lucky human who gets to hang with him all day, every day.

[@notmebutyou8350]

What a beautiful boy!!! He's so sweet!! ❤

[@RamenNoodle1985]

Labs are such good dogs! My neighbor when I was little has one, and she was the sweetest, tho a little too obsessed with rocks.

[@emke9326]

Giving a dog a purpose is the best life you can give him.

[@leahjohnson648]

he started out in my town! he’s such a joy to watch

[@manix429]

Holy $hit! I live just 50 miles from this Durham. I had no idea this was happing so close to me. I will definitely take in some Bulls games this summer. Can't wait to see Ripken in action!

[@SherriLyle80s]

Is he named after either Cal Ripken or Cal Ripken Jr? Such a cute name.

[@backslashthe3rd]

we have season tickets to the bulls, and every game we hope that ripken is able to make it. seeing him the other day at the NHL winter classic on tv and seeing how happy he always is makes the story so much more of a treat

[@ThunderPants13]

That last line "I couldn't imagine my life without Ripken" is kind of bittersweet, because unfortunately dogs don't live nearly as long as we'd like them to. That's why we have to appreciate every minute we have with them.

[@id10t98]

Way to go Ripken! I had 2 black labs that went to work with me every day, flying in helicopters, floatplanes and riding in dump trucks and cement mixers. RIP Beth and Katie!

[@mooonie6634]

Dogs just make life better.

[@Sam-mh4mc]

perfectt free tickets, free pets, free people hugs and kiss, even autographs and photo from the entire team, and even the fullfillment of doing a useful job and the cheers and recognition amazing life really finds a way if u love to do what u do and stick with it (talking about the dad here)

I love this. I have had Labradors my entire life. ⚾️💙🐾

As a sidenote to this awesome story about a beautiful dog and his proud dad, I really appreciate the respect of the privacy of those people in the video who were only bystanders. Blurring their faces is signaling awareness of fact that we don't own what our lenses capture. Well done!

[@davidparkes7741]

Go Ripken!! The goodest boy & the bestest bat-dog.

This needs to happen in all of baseball!
