The New York Knicks may have taken home the championship, but a Golden Retriever named Bagel stole plenty of the spotlight during the celebration.
After the Knicks’ big win, Bagel hit the streets of New York City with his dad to join the party. Dressed in the team’s famous orange and blue, the happy pup looked like he was born for the moment.
In a TikTok video that quickly won over viewers, Bagel could be seen wearing a Knicks bandana and a matching team hat as fans celebrated all around him. The excited dog soaked up every second of the attention, happily accepting pets, cheers and love from strangers who stopped to meet him.
