Why did fans at Great American Ball Park boo a dog named Tom Brady?

Did fans really boo a dog at Great American Ball Park on the Cincinnati Reds' Bark in the Park night?
Yes. A dog named Tom Brady.
The Reds showed several of its furry visitors on the video board during a break in the action Wednesday night at GABP. Each dog received a positive response when it appeared. The dog named for the long-time New England Patriots and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback did not.
The Bengals defeated the Bucs, 34-23, in come-from-behind fashion last December. But is it possible that some Bengals fans remembered that Brady was quoted as saying the Cincinnati defense was "fairly tough" days before the two teams met?
Also, the December win was only the second time in nine tries that the Bengals have defeated Brady. Is there bitterness over that?
Brady was still with the Pats when the team was accused of taking video of the Bengals' sideline in 2019. Is that it?
We'll never know.
