MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (FEBRUARY 26, 2015) - The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Camp Bow Wow Myrtle Beach for the 2015 season. Camp Bow Wow Myrtle Beach, the Premier Doggy Day and Overnight Camp® franchise and an Inc 5000 company, will be the official sponsor of Deuce, the Pelicans canine mascot.

Deuce, an English Yellow Labrador Retriever and the official dog mascots of the Pelicans since 2008, delivers baseballs to the umpires twice a game and runs the bases after each Pelicans win. He is the team's second dog mascot; Dinger served in a similar role beginning in 1999 until 2009 when he passed away. Since Dinger's passing, Deuce has been the centerpiece of the "Home Run Dog" family.

In addition to in-park recognition, Camp Bow Wow Myrtle Beach will be the official sponsor of the new Deuce Facebook Page. Camp Bow Wow Myrtle Beach and All 4 Paws, a local dog and cat rescue organization, will be at the TicketReturn.Com Field at Pelicans Ballpark during the team's two Bark in the Park nights. Finally, each Saturday home game, Camp Bow Wow Myrtle Beach will recognize a "Furry Friend of the Game" (with prizes awarded to each furry friend!).

The 2015 season marks the 17th season for the franchise and first as the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. For information on tickets to see the Pelicans in 2015, please call (843) 918-6000, e-mail [email protected], or visit www.MyrtleBeachPelicans.com.
