Talented dog carries water bottles to baseball umpires

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - A talented dog caught the attention of fans at an Indiana minor league baseball game this week.

"Jake the Diamond Dog" was at the Fort Wayne TinCaps game Monday night. He carried a basket filled with bottles of water to the umpires on the field in exchange for head pats. The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/2tgpvDI ) that Jake doesn't stay at just one baseball park. He travels around the Midwest.

Jake's official website says he also delivers the game ball to pitchers, snags foul balls, takes the umpires towels, plays batboys and catches Frisbees.
