Dreams really do come true. Royals fan Katie Castan, who became Internet famous last week for holding up a sign during the American League Wild Card Game that read “If we win, he’s buying me a puppy!” (referring to her boyfriend Joe Onofrio), has acquired her puppy. Although it’s unclear why Castan didn’t just buy her own puppy to begin with, the result is the same. She adopted one from a Kansas City animal shelter. That’s nice.

Ironically, the dog is not actually a puppy, but a four-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi named Lucy, the Kansas City Star reports. Castan doesn’t care about the dog’s age, though. “Since a corgi is the dog of my dreams, we went to meet her and I immediately fell in love,” Castan, 24, told the Star. Castan continues, noting Lucy has “enjoyed watching her favorite team sweep the Angels.” In other puppy news, here is Brazilian soccer star Neymar posing with a new puppy of his own. He named it Poker, which is weird, but less weird than naming your dog Swag (ahem, Bryce Harper).
