Harrington showed off his dogs during the Wednesday pro-am ahead of the Horizon Irish Open as they provided the feel-good entertainment people need.

Dog content rules the world, even the golf one. Combining the two makes for some of the all-time best content.

Padraig Harrington brought his dogs for the Wednesday Pro-Am at the Horizon Irish Open. Usually, events bring out big celebrities or business people, but Harrington brought his four-legged buddies.

He has two Bernese Mountain Dogs named Wilson and Setanta.

The DP World Tour followed this trio around as they stole the hearts of fans on Wednesday.

This video will pull at all the heartstrings. These dogs have been around a golf course before because the footage showed how well-behaved they were.

Both dogs got their own credential badges to wear—Wilson is a ‘good boy’ and Setanta is a ‘good dog.’ They posed with their heads cocked to provide the cutest headshots on a credential.

Wilson was his first dog and has been featured multiple times throughout the year. As a Wilson golfer, it’s easy to see where the Irishman got his name.

Setanta joined the family earlier this year and follows in big brother’s footsteps.

It will not be long before Setanta knows the ropes and is as skilled as Wilson. Golf dogs always bring good energy to the world, so sit back and enjoy Harrington sharing his good boys.

Perhaps bringing his dogs to The K Club will bring about good fortune for Harrington, who last won the Irish Open in 2007 at Adare Manor, the site of the 2027 Ryder Cup.

The Irishman also has fond memories of The K Club as he helped Europe clinch the 2006 Ryder Cup there.

Alas, Harrington will begin the 2023 Irish Open on Thursday at 7:50 a.m. ET with Tom McKibbin and Tom Hoge.
