The Pittsburgh Pirates have a new team dog, and they need your help naming him.

The Pirates and PNC Bank teamed up to provide a trained medical service dog to a military veteran in the Pittsburgh area.

Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs will raise the puppy and train him in scent, mobility skills and socialization for 18 months before he is paired with a veteran.

Fans can expect to see the dog at Pirates games and community events.

His first Pirates game will be the Mental Health Action game on May 3.

Fans are invited to vote to name the dog.

The options are Rookie, Bandit, Homer and Slugger.

Voting is open until May 4. Click here to vote for your favorite name.
