Pets are the beating heart of any household. And anyone who has one will tell you how dearly they hold them. Their passing is often the same as a family member and looks like the San Diego Padres knows it. Mat Piscatella, recently took to Twitter to thank the San Diego Padres for their condolences on the passing of his dog, Bear. The franchise wished the Padres fan on the passing of his dog. And in an unexpected measure of personal touch added by the ballclub sent a note too. Piscatella tweeted his thanks to the ballclub for their condolences.

The San Diego Padres are an extremely pet-friendly ball club; hosting the “Barkyard” at their home stadium Petco Park. The stadium features an area for Padre fans to come in and enjoy the ballgame with due facilities for their pets, too. And it was these facilities that Bear and Mat would have made the most of in their heyday. And although Mat’s tweet may have spoken about the tears in his eyes, we can all feel his loss.

Mat Piscatella tweets the note

Piscatella tweeted the note with a picture of Bear, his dog with a party hat, presumably on one of their hosted birthday celebrations. Accompanying the tweet was a note from the San Diego Padres conveying their condolences to the grieving pet-dad. “Please accept our sincere condolences. She will be missed in the Barkyard.” said the note.

Piscatella had his own thoughts to add. He wrote, “I’ll just be over here with watery eyes for a while.” Bringing up some relatively sadder memories for the Padres fan for sure, he recounted how Bear loved going to the games with him.

The Barkyard at Petco Park

The San Diego Padres feature a pet-friendly viewing area for Padre fans with a pooch in tow. And there are several facilities attached to the viewing area for the ultimate pet viewing comfort. Outfitted with amenities such as a Pet Relief Area and umbrellas to protect dogs from the Sun during a day game, the Barkyard seems ideal for pet parents.

A special non-heat retentive turf adorns the pet viewing area for the pets’ paw comfort. And a pet concierge is also on call to take all pets to and from the pet viewing area at the Barkyard as per their listing website.

The Barkyard may be down a guest but the Padres will definitely be up to several fans. And all down to this gesture.
