Blue II
I once met Blue II (the Butler Bulldogs mascot). Dad took some pictures of the event.
Blue had a very nice vibe to him. I think this good feeling emanating from Blue is common in bulldogs. It seems like bulldog owners I talk to are extremely pleased with their pet.
Blue had great fur. Blue's fur was like a thick burr haircut.
Blue's confidence seemed omnipresent in the bulldog. I am convinced that that dog knows how important he is as mascot. The players pat him on the head as the starting five are announced - with thousands of people watching. Blue probably thinks that he was responsible for every spectacular play that Gordon Hayward ever made at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Blue is a wonderful animal. It would be great to have a bulldog like Blue. However, the poop must be enormous.
