One Twitter user said that she would be stealing this dog at the US Open, on account of how cute he looks! One fan went on to translate ‘butta’ in her language, and also expressed her love for the Japanese tennis star.
Butta means blind in my language. Hi Naomi 💕 https://t.co/UMe32CyJZF

Another Twitter user reposted the picture, calling Naomi her ‘bestie’. Love and support similarly poured in from several people on Twitter, both for Osaka’s dog and for his mother as well.

One can easily understand that Naomi is a doting dog-mom from the places that she brings her pet too. Much like Kevin Anderson and Alexander Zverev’s pets, Butta too travels the world with his celebrity mom. “I’m a mother, no drama,” Osaka once posted about her role in Butta’s life.
Lol at "Butta" https://t.co/tKfmlSurmM
