The dog, which went viral after not getting a ballpark hot dog, got more than just a much-delayed treat on Sunday.

Jonah and his owner, Peter Silveira, got to go onto the field and throw out the ceremonial first pitch, the MLB said.

Then the man and his dog watched the game from a luxury suite.

The team and several partners gave Jonah dog toys, plush baseballs and some hot dog-shaped dog treats.

The Marlins called it “Jonah’s Dream Day.”

Jonah went viral during a “Bark at the Park” event on June 22 when a neighboring pup had a hot dog, but Jonah didn’t get one.

The team hunted down Jonah and his owner to give him his chance to have a dream day.

As part of Jonah’s big day, the team also had a special ticket offer benefiting Miami Animal Rescue, the MLB said.
