The Stanley Pup got to drink from The Stanley Cup.

Barclay, the St. Louis Blues
team dog
, lapped up a victorious beverage as the Cup was being held by former Blues defenseman Bob Plager.
While it may have took him a moment to warm up to the Cup, Barclay, who is being trained as a service dog during his time with the 2019 Stanley Cup champions, he certainly got used to it.

Barclay was timid of the shinny silver thing at first, but after one sip out of the #stanleycup thanks to Bob Plager, Barclay is a fan for life. @nhl @StLouisBlues @HockeyHallFame pic.twitter.com/s9rA6MIBaG

Looks like Barclay could get used to doing that every year.
On Wednesday, the Cup visited Busch Stadium, where it visited the St. Louis Cardinals.
Tweet from @keeperofthecup: Just hanging out with the #WorldSeriesTrophy in the @Cardinals locker room. Oh yeah, we brought the #StanleyCup along as well. @StLouisBlues @nhl @HockeyHallFame pic.twitter.com/vnUf0OzFhf
While the game was delayed by rain, the visiting Oakland A's also got a chance to hang out with the Cup.

Surprised the @Athletics as well. Doesn't matter the sport, everyone is a fan of the #StanleyCup @nhl @StLouisBlues @HockeyHallFame pic.twitter.com/W3QaEgpoCz
