Willow McNeil has become the unofficial mascot of the New York Mets.
It all started on July 26, 2019, with a few innocent barks and wags of the tail. The New York Mets hosted a pet adoption event at Citi Field with the North Shore Animal League. A whole herd of puppies was there, and several Mets took advantage of pooch photo ops and some good old fashioned puppy playtime.
