A dog on a baseball field is a dog in heaven. Room to run, people to play with and — oh, look, a ball!

At dog night at a minor league game in Tulsa, Okla., on Wednesday, one dog got away from its owner while the infield was warming up. A spirited game of fetch ensued — none more happy to get involved than the players.

Eventually, the dog returned to its owner, but not before returning the ball to the shortstop.
