Aaron Judge’s Dogs Just Landed the Cutest Side Hustle in the Bronx

The stuffed versions nail the floppy ears, the long, low-to-the-ground look, and that dachshund mix of mischief and royalty. For two dogs who have been living the VIP life, this is just another step in growing their brand. Judge and his wife, Samantha, have taken them everywhere. The 'puparazzi' have caught them on New York City walks to baseball road trips. They’ve been spotted romping on the Yankee Stadium grass like they own the place.

They’ve even dipped into Hollywood.

Gus and Penny made an animated cameo in Rubble & Crew, a PAW Patrol spinoff, with Samantha voicing Penny.

Now they’re immortalized in Yankees merch, and it’s easy to see why. In a sport obsessed with stats and streaks, Gus and Penny are pure, no-pressure joy for the Yankees' beloved captain. They don't care if he struck out three times or hit three home runs that night; they just want belly rubs and attention.

The plushies are a reminder that Judge’s world isn’t all about launch angles and pennant races. It’s also about family, loyalty, and two little dogs who have somehow become part of Yankees lore.

No word yet on whether Penny and Gus are getting their cut of the merch sales in biscuits or bully sticks.
