Uga VII died on Thursday of heart causes. Uga VII is the white English bulldog mascot of the University of Georgia football team for nearly two seasons. The 56-Pound Dog, nicknamed the “Loran’s Best” was forgotten as laid-back pet. He used to love the crowd in noisy games and sat patiently as enthusiastic fans snapped photos of him known. He wandered the sidelines often sewed a shirt with a “G” on them, sometimes resting on a bag of ice to cool off in his kennel custom.
The owner of Uga VII is Jim Day and Sonja Kutsch Cedar Hills. It started early – when they first get Uga VII, they went directly to Pet Smart, where a man in Georgia, told them that “a good-looking dog.”
The school said it would not be a mascot on Saturday in Athens against Southeastern Conference rival Kentucky, but a wreath will be laid down on his dog house on the touchline. Sonny Seiler, owner of the dog, said he expected to be named a replacement until next year.
Uga VII made his debut as a mascot in August 2008 by his father, Uga VI, died of heart failure.
