Marlins find viral 'sad dog' who didn't get a hot dog, will reward very good boy with 'dream day' at the ballpark

Jonah, the 6-year-old cunucu that went viral this week for showing his disappointment that another dog was enjoying a hot dog during a Miami Marlins game, has been found and will get his own “dream day,” the team said.

>Monday’s game at loanDepot Park was the Marlins’ “Bark at the Park” night where fans could bring their dogs to enjoy the game. Jonah was caught by television cameras watching on as a hot dog was eaten by a dog a few seats away.

>Jonah, being the good boy that he is, watched on and did not attempt to steal the other dog’s in-game treat.

>A few days later, Jonah, who was rescued from Aruba, was found. His owner, Peter Silveira, commented on the Marlins' social media post naming Jonah and also dropping some facts about the dog including enjoying hobbies such as catching fly balls, chasing squirrels and eating ice cream.

>“That was a crazy video. He just stared at it!” Silveira told “Inside Edition” this week. “And it’s funny, I was totally oblivious to that whole thing going on.”

>Silveira said he wasn’t sure what was planned for Jonah’s big day at the ballpark on July 12, but he’d love if he could chase a ball around the field. Hot dogs will definitely be on the menu.
