Major becomes Philadelphia Phillies' new service pup in training

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A service pup in training made his Major League Baseball debut on Wednesday.



The Philadelphia Phillies and the trusty Phanatic introduced Major, a 10-week-old Black Labrador pup.



Major will be trained and placed with a veteran who lives with a psychological or physical disability, officials say.



The new service dog initiative, with the nonprofits Team Foster and Warrior Canine Connection, was made possible through a Phillies Charities grant.
