A couple of Kansas City Royals fans basically won the Internet last week when they were photographed at Kauffman Stadium holding up a sign that said, "IF WE WIN, HE'S BUYING ME A PUPPY!"

This week they won the Internet even more... BECAUSE THEY JUST BOUGHT A PUPPY! (Adopted, actually. Kudos to them.)

"[My boyfriend] basically said if we won the division or made it past the wild card game, and if I paid attention to the games when we watched and could name at least 10 players on the team by the end of the year, he'd get me a puppy," Katie Castan explained to Yahoo! Sports at the time. "I think it was his way of keeping me watching the games ... but I just really wanted that puppy!"

Castan got her wish.

On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the Royals beat the Oakland A's, 9-8, in 12 innings in the American League Wild Card play-in game to advance to the American League Divisional Series for the first time since 1985. (They've since swept the Angels in the ALDS, even treating their fans to a $20,000 open bar party at McFadden's sports bar in KC.)

Then, this week, Castan's boyfriend Joe Onofrio kept his promise and the two adopted a 4-year-old Corgi named Lucy – but nicknamed "Rally," after the way the Royals came from behind to win the Wild Card game – from "a family of wonderful pet owners" who were trying to find a home for the pooch, KansasCity.com is reporting.

"Since a corgi is the dog of my dreams," Castan told KansasCity.com, "we went to meet her and I immediately fell in love."
